It's funny but since I read this my outlook has swung round the other way... mostly since reading about exponential trends in technology in books by Kurzweil et al.

Oil? Obsolete in 16 years, as solar-power doubles in cost-price efficiency AND world-wide usage every 2 years.

We'll see eh!

yeah i'm with you guys... don't see much hope for the dog-eat-dog trip...

i guess its a predictable response though given the advertising driven cult of the individual / erosion of community solidarity due to cheap energy / eurovision / nintendo etc.

I was well freaked out when I came across Peak Oil and it seemed like: 1. No-one much knew about it. 2. Definitely no-one was DOING anything about it.

Really enjoyed (if that's the right word for it) JMG's little fiction vignettes (starting here -http://thearchdruid...

Thanks for mentioning this it sounds like you're doing good work down in Brixton! I'm looking to get involved with the newly formed TT Stoke Newington.

Thx - have found TT Stoke Newington + Naturewise, am planning to get involved. Meeting next week (16th) by the way for TT Stoke if anyone's interested.

I'll check em out, thanks guys!

Man, I hate the way iplayer links expire!!

North Sea Oil will all be gone by 2020 and since the UK will be an economic basket case nobody will sell us any either.
So we will easily meet the target.

lulz!

Can anyone recommend a good place to look for work teaching environmental issues? (Ideally in the London area)

Had a browse of 'Times Ed Supp' today but couldn't find anything.

Cheers!

uh, yeah, thx!

now, about the gulf-stream?
