Most websites about Peak Oil are in English, very little information about Peak is available in other languages. A couple sites have translated material into a few other languages (in particular the ASPO site at peakoil.net). The internet is an amazing resource for global dissemination of information, but it is also very English-centric. Automatic translation software that is usable without human correction is not yet commercially available - perhaps intelligence agencies have translation software that is adequate, but that is not available to the public. It can be amusing to use commercial translators to transform a page from one language to another, and then back to the original language (it will be garbled), but automatic translation is not yet a practical tool for cross-cultural communication.

DRY DIPSTICK LAUNCHES "BEYOND PEAK" Summary: DryDipstick, a web guide to Peak Oil, launches BeyondPeak.com, a guide to self-sufficiency and preparing for, and dealing with, Peak Oil and economic collapse. Napa Valley, California November 5, 2005 -- DryDipstick.com, a popular Peak Oil metadirectory of information on the impending decrease in oil production, today launches a sister website "Beyond Peak", located at www.beyondpeak.com. The new website focuses on preparation for, and dealing with, the effects of Peak Oil, economic collapse, and a host of other looming disruptions, any one of which could cause serious problems in our society. Mick Winter, founder of both Dry Dipstick and Beyond Peak, says: "Many visitors to Dry Dipstick have told us, 'Okay, we get Peak Oil. Now what can we do about it?'" We've created "Beyond Peak" to give hundreds of answers to that single question. The website provides access to the information, resources and tools that people need to move their families, neighborhoods and communities closer to sustainable, self-sufficient living." While few of us can have real effects on national and state policies, all of us can affect what happens at home and in our communities, so Beyond Peak provides information for use at the home and local level. Everyday citizens can do many things, on their own and working with friends and neighbors, to provide for essential needs. Beyond Peak offers information on such topics as food, health, money, power, shelter, transportation and water, as well as barter, drugs, relocation and the recurring collapse of societies. No single website or method is a cure-all, but armed with the information offered by Beyond Peak, individuals can know that they are doing everything they can to prepare for, and deal with, whatever the future may bring. For complete information on preparing for, and dealing with, Peak Oil and economic collapse, visit Beyond Peak at www.beyondpeak.com. www.greatchange.org/ov-thomson,convince_sheet.html www.peakoil.com - online news and forum www.planetforlife.com - summaries of world oil crisis, natural gas depletion America’s Perfect Storm www.world-crisis.com/analysis_comments/953_0_15_0_C/ The limits to growth www.commondreams.org/views04/1028-23.htm |
