The BBC did an 'End of Oil' programme in the 1970s, about 30 years too early. If someone runs with it, then they can be caught out. Having said that, Climate Change and the end of North sea Oil are important subjects for the UK and it's not really too early to start planning/making changes.

can we not start an orchastrated campaign to write to our MP's ASAP since UK energy policy is as useful as a vodka drunk in gorcky park in Moscow at the moment?
....
The British public and there leaders have been asleep for the past 25 years with regard to energy policy, what do the Tories plan to do about this situation? Gordon Browne continues to do nothing, if that trend continues plus the unprecedented immigration into the UK we have seen over the past decade, Britain is in serious trouble.

Well, unless one takes the line that oil is abiotic, is being formed in quantities that would satisfy our needs forever and that we'll discover how to tap such quantities before the stuff we have found runs out, then there is no question that oil began to run out when the first barrel gushed out. That's the problem with a finite resource; it's finite.Longsword wrote:Sheeple will not believe that oil is running out no matter what, and we don't know for sure, either.

I was in Sherwood Forest just before Christmas and I saw considerably more than one tree, where did you get your information?
