On July 28, 2006, the San Francisco Local Agency Formation Commission had a hearing on Peak Oil at city hall. Presentations were made by Richard Heinberg, David Room, and concerned citizens of the bay area. Approximately 100 people packed the hearing room on a Friday afternoon to see this historic meeting. Afterwards, many of the attendees took in some vegetarian food at a local Civic Center restaurant near city hall. Below is David Room, original founder of what has become East Bay Peak Oil, and Bay Localize (formerly Bay Area Relocalize). The hearing in its entirety is available throught the www.sfgov.org site at this podcast link. (photo: rkatz)
