LibDems discussing Peak Oil at their conference

What can we do to change the minds of decision makers and people in general to actually do something about preparing for the forthcoming economic/energy crises (the ones after this one!)?

Other items on the agenda for the weekend conference - which closes on Sunday - are a boycott of Google for agreeing to a Chinese state request for censoring search items, and the reformation of MI5 and MI6 to make them more accountable.

Other debates include Peak Oil, nuclear power and the long-range affects of the Chernobyl disaster.

Slow down, please. Read the report again. It is the Greens who are discussing those things until Sunday.

Yes it was the Green Party.

I can confirm I attended a packed meeting on Peak Oil hosted by Green Party MEP Dr Caroline Lucas!!

I think they deserve support for being honest enough to discuss this issue and what we need to do (broadcast over...)

Apologies - I don't know how I so completely misread that. It was a very very very busy week last week...

Yep it was the Greens - and Roger CO and I were talking on the platform. I was delivery doom and gloom whilst Roger spoken of the Kinsale Energy Descent plan and solutions. Caroline spoke on CC. It all seemed to go very well.
