The mainstream media is doing a terrible job covering peak oil. But luckily it's not hard to get news and information about peak oil. Here's how to get peak oil news and stay plugged in to the issue of oil depletion and its impact on our future.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1
     

    Sign up for the Association for the Study of Peak & Gas (ASPO) newsletter at www.peakoil.net (see direct links at the bottom of this article). The ASPO newsletter is written approximately once per month, and is a PDF document emailed to you, with news and commentary about the oil industry, oil depletion, and peak oil. Often a particular country is analyzed for its current and future oil production trends.

  2. Step 2

    Sign up for the email newsletter from the Oil Depletion Analysis Centre (ODAC). ODAC is a UK-registered charity which is helping to raise awareness of oil depletion. The ODAC newsletter provides well selected news articles related to peak oil and oil production.

  3. Step 3
     

    Have a look at energybulletin.net. This is a website focused on global energy supply, and energy's impact on all related facets of life. This is a great news source for articles, analysis, and commentary concerning the impact of peak oil and oil depletion. It draws commentary from people with widely diverse backgrounds and disciplines. If you know how to use RSS feeds, you can subscribe to particular categories of information that most interest you.

  4. Step 4
     

    If you use iGoogle, there is a great Peak Oil News widget that you can add to your iGoogle home page, courtesy of peakoil.com. From the iGoogle homepage, go to "add stuff" and then search for "Peak Oil News".

  5. Step 5

    Visit theoildrum.com. Among the commentary and analysis contained there is a post containing daily news stories directly or indirectly relating to peak oil. The Oil Drum also contains links to number of other good peak oil websites and blogs.

  6. Step 6

    For audio/podcasts, check out the Financial Sense Newshour with Jim Puplava. This is a weekly financial radioshow/podcast. Hosts Jim and John frequently discuss peak oil and interview the latest authors and commentators on peak oil news and analysis. If you want to know how the American suburbs will fare, among other things, check out the Kunstlercast.com.
