[Peakoil] Little news on peak oil

[Antony Barry]

Despite the very large amount of attention being paid to energy  
policy and global warming the Canberra Times has been devoid of  
anything directly relating to peak oil in the last few days.

The thought occurred to me that the Government having finally woken  
up to global warming and it's impact on farmers through lack of water  
and heat should also spare a thought to what will happen as oil and  
gas start to dry up.

Fuel, transport, fertisers and pesticides will all skyrocket in  
price. While you can do drought relief on the assumption there will  
be better years in the future you can't provide relief if basic  
inputs are just going to continually increase in price. Might be a  
letter in it.
