"Timely warning oil supply has peaked"  Letters p.10

Russell Rollason, President UN Association of Australi(ACT) writes   
oil supplies are finite, there is mounting evidence supply has peaked  
and will soon decline. Lowering the price will make things worse.  
Alternatives need to be pursued by the government which is in the  
grip of the fossil fuel lobby.

Tom Waring writes that the market will provide and we are not likely  
to do away with personal transport soon.
