Regional Powerdown Blog

We're still officially on a break from the weekly opening of the Sunshine Coast Energy Action Centre, but I've been working away on a few ideas for ways to seriously get our region (and others in Australia) into Powerdown. It's taking a lot of planning and discussion, but it all seems to be falling into place.

The EDAP still needs a lot of work - a lot has been done, but it is so very important to get this, the first, perfect. A lot is riding on it.

Roberto Perez, from The Power of Community dvd, will be in Australia and on the Sunshine Coast in April so that will generate a lot of peak oil interest I'm sure. With that and the launch of our EDAP, hopefully we'll see peak oil in the mainstream media, here at least.

I think I finally have a copy of Peak Everything in the mail to me, took three tries with three different companies, but I have received an email saying it's been sent.

While SEAC has been closed we've still received media attention with a front page story in a local newspaper and emails are still rolling in from people who would like to be involved in what we are doing. The media coverage has been good, I've also done a radio interview in the past week, all those years working in corporate communications are finally paying off it seems.

The Eudlo Relocalisation Group is ticking along with regular meetings every month and an eager group of people wanting to work on peak oil and climate change solutions.

Will post again soon, with some updates on what's happening with our regional powerdown project.

Cheers,
