Re: FW: Perspectives on where we are headed

[William B Ward]

The good news is that there is not a straight line supply demand function with oil. If consumption drops even slightly below supplhy, prices drop quite considerably. Conservation in the US could bring oil producing countries to their knees. We are our own worst enemy.   Bill Ward   For those interested in solar energy, I have pasted an e-mail without referencing it below   On Thu, 5 Sep 2002 12:59:48 -0700 "Karen Watters Cole" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: Or more bits of news that may add up to something: Oil Powers Expect Rise In Demand ************************************************************************************ Hello, and am posting a few more items re solar energy question of earlier today (Sept. 5).  There is a company called "Solar Energy International", based in Colorado, which is at http://www.solarenergy.org , and they have a page for Enersol, which I mentioned earlier. Enersol is located in Massachusetts:  on the SEI site, you can access info about Enersol at http://www.solarenergy.org/enersol.html , and it has its own site at http://www.enersol.org . Also, "Solar Today" is listed at the website info I gave earlier, http://www.ases.org . Finally, another good organization called ITDG--based in the UK and with projects in many developing countries--stresses use of indigenous and/or "appropriate" technologies for particular settings, solar among them. Please see http://www.itdg.org . Many thanks and all best wishes, Janet Feldman, Director, KAIPPG/International, [EMAIL PROTECTED] , http://www.kaippg.org
