| | | Has Peak Oil Arrived?
Reading this story this morning on the BBC, it looks like Peak Oil could be upon us? Quote:
Oil prices surged to a new record after an unexpected fall in US crude stockpiles added to fears over supplies for the winter months ahead.
US light sweet crude rose $3.36 to $90.46 a barrel by close of trade in New York, having traded as high as $90.60 earlier in the day.

Had me worried there ... I thought this was going to be about drilling in the Peak District! 
The higher prices get the better? People will then think twice before wasting it ... maybe  Quote:

It does look like we are there already, and to be honest - I can't wait. It's not just about people being less inclined to waste energy, but also about the options people having in their daily lives shifted back to a local scale, local shops and produce (although not oil of course!), and better for local economies and communities. Bring it on!

What do you think of the potential anarchy and chaos that could arise from this? 
Personally - being able to travel to work on horseback sounds cool  Quote:
