was just watching report about peak oil, they say it is serious problem? worse than climate change, and will hit us sooner??
so should we all, as a lobby be pushing for electric cars, now,?? and also pushing for more lpg, and lng,
because of all the countries in the developed world, australia, is a very big nation, and public transport is not viable?
your thoughts??
cheers

Think of it this way it took 10 barrels of oil to produce and transport the food you eat each year.
Chemicle fertilizers and pesticides are petrolium based.
Tractors trucks and plasitic all take oil.

You may even cook |
