Greens look to future oil supply and alternative fuel sources inquiry 
The Australian Greens have moved to refer a Senate inquiry into Australia's future oil supply and alternative fuel sources. 


Greens Senator, Christine Milne, has referred the inquiry to the Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport References Committee for inquiry and report by the last sitting day in March 2006. 


The scope of the inquiry would include: 


projections of oil production and demand in Australia and globally and the implications for availability and pricing of transport fuels in Australia; 


potential of new sources of oil and alternative transport fuels to meet a significant share of Australia's fuel demands, taking into account technological developments and environmental and economic costs; 


flow-on economic and social impacts in Australia from continuing rises in the price of transport fuel and potential reductions in oil supply; and 
options for reducing Australia's transport fuel demands.
