Sustainable Energy Forum

About 70 people attended the joint Engineers for Social Responsibility/
Sustainable Energy Forum conference on "Responding to Oil Depletion
and Climate Change" in Auckland on Saturday 26 July. Most of the
conference presentations, plus the conference statement and report,
are now available online at

I've also reproduced the conference statement, which has been
distributed to various media outlets and is the basis for ongoing
discussions with Auckland local authorities, below.
