On 19 July, the city of Bloomington, Indiana USA, passed a resolution “Recognizing the Peak of World Petroleum Production” (pdf here). Bloomington is a small city of 70,000 residents and 40,000 students (Indiana University). Despite its size, Bloomington has their own local peak oil group (BloomingPeak) which was instrumental in getting city officials to pass the resolution.
The fact that such resolutions are taking place one city at a time even in the US shows how ‘grassroots’ the Peak Oil movement is to date. The first thing we really have to do first is to formalise the ‘entity’ that will own the Peak Oil agenda for Singapore.
