[Peakoil] Oil production limit reached: expert

[Christal George]

Hi all, 
I thought it was good, and its true, as you say, 4Corners has credibility. 

There was not much mention of clean alternatives.
There is a worry with liquefied coal looming as the quickfix solution to an oil addicted society (see today 11 July 2006, AFR, p15). There's a brown path and a green path in replacing oil, and liquefied coal is definitely on the brown path. 

Agree: the unasked question was "what now?".
energy efficiency is seen as too hard. 
And Wind and solar lacked mention in the 4corners story.

Liked it, although of course it could have been more in-depth

Same. I've been trying not to sound like a madman in my  
prognostications, and this helps. Four Corners has a lot of credibility.

I think the unasked question was "what now?", and I think the danger  
is that the focus will be on the supply side of the energy equation,  
rather than asking what we can do to reduce demand
