[Peakoil] FW: Roger Beale on Peak Oil: An Interesting Coincidence?

[Alex Pollard]

Hi folks,

The 2020 summit doesn't look at all promising.

I've been told not to expect much from Mr Beale but this is even more
disappointing.

Hi all,
 
An interesting coincidence(?) I discovered today is that Roger Beale is a
Director of both Connector Motorways (owner/operator of the struggling Lane
Cove Tunnel) and Brisbane Airport Corporation (which assumed oil prices
remaining at ~$US55 until 2030 in the business case for their proposed $1
billion new parallel runway).

Subject: Roger Beale's Peak Oil Solution - "Aggressive Hybrid Cars"

Hi everyone,
 
By chance tonight I heard Roger Beale (chair of the Australia 2020 Climate
Change and Sustainability forum) on Radio National's 'Australia Talks'. On a
whim I called the talkback line and was able to ask Beale why peak oil has
ben excluded from the summit agenda. His reply was that "there are some
techno-fixes that are going to be emerging", for example "increased use of
aggressive hybrid cars." You can download the audio here (from 20.50 min) -
