New Orleans December Spore: Take Back the Power

Will the end of the oil age mark the end of civilization as we know it? Will
we descend into Mad Max mayhem as pumps run dry? Or can the threat of a
post-Peak Oil dystopia inspire communities to institute new sustainable
models of energy production, conservation, and sharing? A growing number of
institutions, researchers, and DIY pioneers propose new ways to create and
conserve power and transfer to using renewable energy in our lives.
Innovations in technology have led to a flowering of wind farms, new fuel
cells, rapid improvements in photovoltaiic systems, hydroelectric, and
biomass energy solutions like Biochar. Visionaries like The Resonance
Project’s Nassim Haramein work toward harnessing the energy of the vacuum,
or the quantum field, to access infinite power.

For this Spore, we invite regional Evolvers to discuss the future of power,
from radical innovations and renewable technologies to conservation through
upgraded environmental design. When we know the situation we face and the
options available to us, we can work together to prepare a soft landing for
the fossil fuel power-down.
