PowerSwitch

I have been asked if I will do a public presentation on Peak Oil and the energy situation. I have never been one to reinvent the wheel (I am a bit lazy).

So coming to the point has anybody done a powerpoint presentation that they would be happy to let me use? I might also want to amend the presentation - please let me know if this is okay.

Thanks all.

Hmm... might be worth having a look a look at the archive of Matt Simmons presentations that they keep at his companies web site. That should give you some useful graphs and graphics that you can...hmmphr... borrow if nothing else. They are all pdf, but designed for presentation from Adobe Reader in full screen mode.

Snow,

I've done the same thing, and I've cobbled together a presentation from various sources, my emphasis was the UK energy situation in total.

Not too heavy on detail, but covering oil, gas, coal, renewables etc. It was aimed at the total newby so I tried not to blind them with detailed proofs of everything, but it is all referenced.

I will send it to you from work on Monday if you give me an address by private message (it is rather big, but I can probably compress it)

I don't use Powerpoint as my machines run Linux, but I'd be happy to send you my slides (you'd have to reformt tham as the Linux=>Windows conversion really messes up the fonts).

You can look at my slides online (and grab the images if you wish) from:

You could also run off copies of the 'Energy Beyond Oil' briefings and other information to give out in the meeting (it's all 'open licensed' for non-comercial use):

P.

Thanks for all your help. I will pm you ballard. The presentation is for newbies - people who do not have any prior knowledge of the impending situation, so I intend to keep it basic but powerful. I feel a growing need to get the message out there and whilst I am not very comfortable presenting (I realise not many people are), it makes it a bit easier that they know much less than me about the whole situation - hopefully I will change that.

The person who has asked me to do the presentation, has made it clear that if it goes well, there will be potentially a whole lot more invitations to follow. We have to try and wake people up and it is that fact that is driving me to go ahead with this.

Thanks again.

You're welcome to use any of my Hirsch Report presentation if you think it'll be of any use.

Who are you presenting to?

If you need to go easy, softly softly, to people
who the ideas may be new to, this page may be
worth a look for some ideas. It was put together
by a relative PO newbie who'd decided he needed
a way to get the idea over to others it would be
new to...

He is a Reverend, but it doesn't appear to be too
important to the way he has approached this stuff.

He is a yank, and obviously favours the intentional
community approach.

Much is mising here, as I say, it seems a good potted
simple version of some of the data:
