Interesting to see what the same source they use to reassure us has to say in its recent short term energy outlook: http://www.eia.doe.gov/steo Both the inability of world oil producers to increase production capacity to meet growing demand and growing concern about the security of supplies have con...

Did anybody notice this? http://irannewsblog.blogspot.com/2006/04/irans-euro-oil-exchange-to-open-next.html It says 'ere that it's about to go ahead. No nukes, yet though. Here's what I think: all the noise about Iran building up nuclear capability was to sidetrack us all from the search for a compl...

But just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they're not after me. It would be nice to live in the dreamworld of a 'more civilized' society, but I don't know of one. Have you read this guy's background? We shall not be hearing much from him for a while, he's made too many enemies and has enough experi...

I'm still hopefull that more powerfull people than we are at the moment, will bring the problem to the political forefront: The International Monetary Fund held its annual assembly in Washington on Saturday(?) Its current director Rodrigo Rato (ex-finance minister for Spain?s right-wing Partido Popu...

I've just watched reports on the lunchtime news and I am stunned at the whole thing. Thousands of people are now trapped inside their cars having run out of gas, trying to flee this hurricane. I can't imagine what will happen if those people are unable to move out of the way before this thing hits, ...

I found out about Peak Oil precisely one month ago. I don't know what makes me different, but it changed my way of thinking practically over night. Maybe I was ready for change, looking for something different in my life after three years dedicated exclusively to raising my only daughter. After chap...

Yes, telling people the end of the world is nigh, has never been a good career move :wink: Can't help thinking it depends how you put it. I mean the Christians and so forth still seem to be listened to, no? I think it's not helpfull to tell people the bad news straight off, it's enough to draw their...

In case I offended anybody with the ?anorak nation? thing: we are all influenced consciously or subconsciously by society around us. In the UK the telly culture has had some positive effects. Having lived in several different countries (U.K, France, Switzerland, United States, and my home country- S...

Peak Oil at the UN Trying to grab at straws of hope, I?m dredging the news for signs of life. Yesterday at the United Nations the Chancellor of the Dominican Republic, Morales Troncoso, spoke of the need to ?prepare member nations with a Road Map to guide them towards a civilisation without petrol.?...

Woah! Too much doom and gloom folks. Try looking at a few positive angles www.culturechange.org has good tips for Americans we can use all over the world. UK culture is steeped in Go it Alone ideas to do with surviving catastrophes, from Ray Mears to that other bloke I can't remember. It's an anorak...

Just found an obscure single column in the economics page of El Pais here in Spain telling me that Opec promises to release "all its reserves." What? Or as Manuel would say, Qu?? I went to Opec's web page and found what they really said. None the wiser, I found Der Spiegel also seemed to h...

Which these days has to come barked as an order from the unholy Christian right who rule there. Nice to read this typically British exchange with Macsporan, and a relief to read everybody feels more or less the same about the Americans on those sites. Has anybody read Heinberg's books? He is the rar...

I'm enjoying the exchanges here, it shows a lot of basic good aspects of 'us' human beings. I've also started telling people about Peak Oil and was disappointed my letter to the press was not published. But I realise I have to keep at it. I've been composing an email to an official body here called ...
