We handed out a lot of CFL's as the Light Brigade and got our names in the paper. We'll try to do this again in the new year. We are meeting again on January 6th at 10:45 am upstairs in the Meditation room of the UU Church in Waterville. We are going to talk about what to do about peak oil in the new year. It's getting real around here. The heating oil situation is really making it obvious to a lot of folks. Electricity is going up again in the spring. LIHEAP funds are being cut. This is the winter of our discontent.
I think that talk is cheap. We need to conserve energy now. We may not have a choice. Efficiency and conservation are amazing ways of making our lives work even if gas and oil go up in price. We have to get together and make it work. Cooperation is a better strategy than competition as energy dwindles.
