Hi all,
 
Greetings - this is my first post to this list. I think I read earlier
that others had attended a Lyn Martin presentation?

Public Peak Oil debate in Canberra
press release 
On Wednesday August 10, there will be a public debate on Peak Oil,
sponsored by the Federal Department of Transport and Regional Services.
DTRS spokesperson Lyn Martin will be presenting a draft of the paper:
"Is the world running out of oil? A review of the debate".

Description: The doubling of world oil prices over the past two years
has revived concerns that the world is running out of oil. The issue is
of particular relevance to transport as it currently faces few viable
alternative sources of energy. BTRE Working Paper 61 aims at
dispassionately examining both sides of what is often a highly emotive
debate. The key issues are reviewed and the policy implications are
discussed, with the surprising conclusion that the "first best" policy
making could see the two opposing camps quite closely aligned.

Presenter: Lyn Martin
Date: Wednesday 10 August
Begins: 2:30 PM
Ends: 3:30 PM
(tea and coffee available at end of presentation)

Location: Johnson Auditorium, Pilgrim House, 69 Northbourne Avenue,
Canberra
RSVP: Lynnette Philip ext 7818 (+612 6274 7818 external) or
lynnette.philip at dotars.gov.au
