On July 28th, at 2PM, the San Francisco Local Agency Formation Commission will be holding the first of several hearings on the issue of peak oil, at City Hall. The public is invited to attend as San Francisco—the first city in the country to pass a peak oil resolution—launches an effort to develop a plan of response. Indeed, citizen participation is critical, since the future of our city will be determined by our collective effort to face and respond to peak oil

Next, Portland City Council created a Peak Oil Task Force to develop recommendations on appropriate responses to Peak Oil. So far, they’ve produced some background material (94-page pdf).
