The following message was emailed to supporters of ASPO-USA regarding the shutdown of the organization. We thank you for your support on Facebook and encourage you to visit the Post Carbon Institute which has taken over some of the projects formerly administered by ASPO-USA.
Dear Friends of ASPO-USA,
It is with regret that we write you. The many years we labored together to inform the public and policymakers about the threat of peak oil brought the idea from obscurity into general usage. Unfortunately, short-sighted thinking has combined with a well-funded public relations pushback to undermine prudent action regarding our energy future.
Support and interest in the activities of ASPO-USA have now dwindled to the point that we can no longer fund basic operations, and we have no reason to believe this will change. Accordingly, the board of directors has voted for an orderly shutdown of ASPO-USA.
Fortunately, Post Carbon Institute (PCI) has agreed to continue support of Peak Oil News & Review. If you are receiving either or both, your subscription will continue without interruption during this transition. PCI has also agreed to maintain the ASPO-USA website as an archive so that people may continue to access the valuable information and commentary on it.
If you’d like to find out more about PCI, you may wish to visit the organization’s website where you can sign up for regular communications. As many of you may know, PCI maintains the Resilience website (formerly Energy Bulletin) and publishes an annual reality check on shale gas and tight oil production in the United States.
We do not for a second believe that the oil crises of our age are over. In fact, the International Energy Agency is already warning about oil price spikes by 2020. If this happens, then perhaps many of us will find a new receptivity to discussions about energy limits, and we will be well-prepared for such discussions in part because of our affiliation with ASPO-USA.
We thank all of you for your support through the years in the form of financial, technical and informational contributions. We wish you every success in your endeavors including those that help keep the discussion of limits alive—until circumstances can make the public and policymakers receptive once again.
Executive Committee, ASPO-USA
