The document says energy will inevitably become less available and more expensive than it has been for the last few decades. I have friends who have said when this stuff is on the BBC then I might believe it.... Did they ever follow up on that vote for Peak Oil being the number one topic people vot...

How does one get on your e-mail list? Ok - I confess I am a Peaknik groupie

So, Tess, the Neo Pagans hang out in Melbourne, do they? I probably have not looked hard enough for them here in Sydney. But I don't have to wish I had that kind of a mind, or even thank God I haven't, because thanks (?) to something, I got direct personal experience of that magic, spirit, wierdo th...

NewMac - did you post the test of your 'sorry' e-mail or is there a link to it?

Did you mention what actions you - and other Peakniks - are taking in the e-mail?

Oh Skeptic, Minmia is a highly educated university professor..and then she was apparently reminded of her 'wimminslore' duties by her former tribe - so she must fall into your 'idot' category. As indeed I fear I must do too. A former acknowledged "rational scientist', whom life chose to throw s...

Oh dear, I fear Skeptik is going to be foaming at the mouth at all this blithering nonsense now :) Since finding out about PO, I have evolved into finding the thought of the 'End of the World as We Know It' (oh, for a handy acronym) coming by 2012 extremely comforting. Like being told you have 6 yea...

And you thought it was just a bunch of old South American Indians http://www.vitalsignspublishing.co.uk/book2012/content2012.html To that list add Duncan's Olduvai Cliff (according to Wikipedia's summary of 2012 predictions - even Colin Campbell is pushing PO out til then. It sure is a big date-a-co...

Thought the best PO forum on the net might appreciate this test.

I got 100, which probably makes me the most gullible person on earth.

Love to see what any of you guys (in the neutral gender sense) score, if you are happy to share...

Damian B wrote [/quote]No, but skeptik makes a VERY important point What was that point? I didn't think the question implied that what skeptik said hadn't been understood. I could see all those same advantages for NZ when I first discovered PO, and I grew up there, have loads of friends there and wi...

Solid, in terms of having a house around one's neck, especially one with a debt, might feel rather too solid in times of change. Flexibility is almost certainly better. As to how to preserve (or even increase) your capital in the short term, there have been some good areas to research and choose fro...

You don't seem to have received many answers to your good question. I was hoping there would be some views. We currently live in Oz, but all our families are in UK, and as dual passport holders we can choose either - or NZ. Right now we are sticking with Oz, because of concerns over crowdedness/effe...

I'm not sure if this helps, but this is a comment by a State politician in Australia who introduced PO to parliament earlier this year and was asked to put a task force together to address the issue at State level But I should defend my colleagues a bit, I don't think that there's lots and lots of p...

Damian, I think the guys over at www.theoildrum.com definitely need your help in their latest discussion on oil prices.

Microsoft I had asked the corporation I work for if energy depletion was one of the external risks that they consider in their long term strategic plans. They said no, but maybe it should be and did I know of how other corporations were dealing with it in a risk sense. I contacted Microsoft amongst ...
