According to Dark Optimism:
The “You and Yours” programme on BBC Radio 4 this week held a studio discussion on Peak Oil, with energy investment banker Matt Simmons, peak oil educator Richard Heinberg and the Chair of the UK All Party Parliamentary Group on Peak Oil John Hemming MP. Hear the MP3 radio at Dark Optimism now!
- I am now going to review the BBC Radio 4 discussion on Peak Oil as follows.
- Population Control discussed as one of the solution to peak oil….(Scary!)
- Doomsday Scenario
- Require to develop alternative energy source as soon as possible
- Learn how to live with less
- Energy Rationing either by price, poorer will suffer inevitably
- Energy Rationing by trade quota may be an option.
- Social Chaos may happen
- Long distance working
- Resource wars possible
- Focus on quality of life instead of standard of living advised
- Transition away from fossil fuels should be supported by Government
- Required Government to move away from denial
- It’s everyone’s interest to move away from fossil fuel.
- Saudi Arabia increasing 7% in domestic demand for oil doubling every 10 years.
The interview is rather short and I do hope to have more if possible.
