[Peakoil] Significant interview

[Keith Thomas]

Thanks, Sandy.  Alex has picked up on Andrew McNamara's account of the  
destruction of rail infrastructure.  To me the most revealing was his  
explanation for most politicians ignoring peak oil. It confirms fully  
the succinct explanation in the Nature and Society Forum peak oil  
sheet:

Open discussion of peak oil by all governments and the media is needed.  
Politicians appear to be keeping silent deliberately as they shy away  
from breaking ‘bad news’; each party unwilling to flinch first.
Until this discussion occurs, many people may deny – to others and  
themselves – the reality of peak oil. Perhaps governments shelter  
behind the deniers or interpret our silence as apathy.
