The mailto:energyresources@onelist.com is now officially open. Please take a moment to read the final version of the topics and posting rules before sending mail to this list. -TOPICS- The topics of this "research" (not "activist") list are threefold: #1. Critique energy-related articles and speeches published in the mainstream media. #2. Provide a forum where energy researchers can ask published engineers and scientists (not economists) questions and receive referenced answers. #3. Distribute important energy news items. -GROUND RULES- Key people are driven from mailing lists by too much volume, irrelevant chatter, and political fights. You can help me make this list a permanent and valuable energy resource by keeping the volume low and on topic. If you want to discuss some other topic, it only takes a few minutes to set up your own mailing list -- and it's free. See http://www.onelist.com -POSTS MAY BE EDITED- Irrelevant material will be edited and removed before sending posts to the list. If I personally comment on someone's post, I will add it to the bottom of that post before I send it. -QUESTIONS- Please ask only one energy-related question per post. -ANSWERS- When "answering" someone's question please provide a reference so other researchers can follow up. Market prices are not considered valid references. Uninformed opinions will not be posted. -ATTACHMENTS- If you have a graph that illustrates your point, I prefer that you provide a URL (http:// etc.) that points to the graph. However, if you are unable to provide a URL, you may attach the graph to your email. Write to me at mailto:energyresources-owner@onelist.com if you need assistance. If you have an energy paper you would like to archive at the http://www.dieoff.com web site, email the machine-readable files to me at mailto:energyresources-owner@onelist.com . Dozens of energy articles are archived at http://dieoff.com and http://www.hubbertpeak.com and http://hubbert.mines.edu Jay
