Ohio Peak Oil Action

Ohio Peak Oil Action is, in its own words, "a visionary organization working with inspired individuals, communities, and other organizations to help prepare for peak oil and the other challenges of the 21st century by promoting community sustainability, bioregionalism and relocalization."

Ohio Peak Oil Action was featured as the lead story in the August 15, 2006, edition of the Energy Bulletin, a leading peak oil publication, in an article entitled "Peak Oil and Relocalization in Ohio," by Ryan Hottle, who, along with Theresa Bratton, is a founder and co-director of Ohio Peak Oil Action! (OPOA!).
