Paxman did a newsnight on Peak Oil a couple of years ago. He had James Howard Kunstler, but it didn't make it mainstream then I don't think it will this time, now the price of oil is a lot lower than then!!

I think this link means that Chris Huhne the new energy and environment secretary has signed edm 1453. Or have I interpreted this incorrectly?

why the drop in crude price?

Any ideas anyone?

From a holiday to the Scilly Isles last year, I understand that there is no mains water and everyone collects their own! The Scillies are still part of Cornwall so I wonder what South West Water's position is on this?
