UK government finally accepts peak oil arguments - but only behind closed doors!

This is absolute dynamite. As The Guardian reported on Monday the UK government is finally creating a space for a discussion about peak oil. Up until now the government has always pooh-poohed any suggested that global oil supplies might be about to peak. Not any longer. For the moment it's a private discussion behind closed doors session under Chatham House rules. But at least the Transition Towns movement was invited to take part. Read Rob Hopkins' report of the event here.
