Event Description
Friends of the Island Library (Lummi Island) is very excited to present Nicole Foss (Stoneleigh), co-editor of The Automatic Earth (www.theautomaticearth.blogspot.com). Ms. Foss will be speaking at the Lummi Island Grange Hall on Thursday, June 2, 2011 at 7:30 PM. Suggested donation: $7.00. Proceeds will benefit library programs and support of the Island Library. The Grange is within easy walking distance of the ferry dock (about 2 blocks). It is located at 2200 No. Nugent. Exit ferry, turn right, Grange hall will be on left just past the Beach Store Café.
Nicole and her writing partner have been chronicling and interpreting the on-going credit crunch as the most pressing aspect of our current multi-faceted predicament. The Automatic Earth site integrates finance, energy, environment, psychology, population and real politik in order to explain why we find ourselves in a state of crisis and what we can do about it. Prior to the establishment of TAE, she was editor of The Oil Drum Canada, where she wrote on peak oil and finance.
Foss runs the Agri-Energy Producers' Association of Ontario, where she has focused on farm-based biogas projects and grid connections for renewable energy. While living in the UK she was a Research Fellow at the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies, where she specialized in nuclear safety in Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Union, and conducted research into electricity policy at the EU level.
Her academic qualifications include a BSc in biology from Carleton
University in Canada (where she focused primarily on neuroscience and
psychology), a post-graduate diploma in air and water pollution control, the common professional examination in law and an LLM in international law in development from the University of Warwick in the UK. She was granted the University Medal for the top science graduate in 1988 and the law school prize for the top law school graduate in 1997.

Carpooling sounds great. I should be able to make a decision by 3pm on Thurs whether I'll be able to attend. The Roving Garden work-party is also that evening - location B'ham Senior Center.....I've already volunteered at many of these. Can I give a call or you let me know what your departure time is? I'll look over the link you've posted too.
