    • Peak Oil Crisis coming soon?

      The first scare was actually dropped on February 10, when the UK Industry Task Force on Peak Oil and Energy Security issued a report called "The Oil Crunch: A wake-up call for the UK economy."



      According to reports from attendees, the summit yielded some important conclusions:


      • Peak oil is either here, or close enough.
      • Prices will have to go higher as demand outstrips supply.
      • Governments will be forced to intervene to maintain critical levels of oil supply, and limit volatility.
      • Rationing measures may be unavoidable.
      • Electrification of transport must be pursued in order to reduce demand.
      • Communities will need to work quickly to reorganize around walking instead of driving, producing food and energy locally instead of importing, and generally try to reduce their need for oil.
