I guess it’s a tough time to be a conservative ideologue.

Yes!

I can almost imagine heading back there in certain areas if we solve the whole climate change — peak everything — greedy banker problem, but as some of these are multi-generational issues I’m probably over on the central-left for good.

In the 1960’s oil discovery peaked. In 1983 consumption permanently overtook discovery, and 25 years later we burn 5 times the oil we discover.

In 2008 most geologists calculate world oil production will peak and head into permanent decline within the next 10 years. Yet rather than rush-build electric rail, Kevin Rudd gives us 10 billion dollars to buy plasma screen TV’s.

Welcome to the end of the oil age!

Wow Dave ! I didn’t see that one coming. I would NEVER have guessed that ;)

I know, it’s amazing isn’t it? Who wooda thunk it?
