Let’s face it ... motor transport has peaked

EVEN Sir Richard Branson now accepts the reality of peak oil which he refers to as the “oil crunch”, saying it is “just five years away”.

He claims it can be tackled by changing car production completely to “clean fuel and electric cars” by 2015 and phasing out “oil-using cars” by 2020.

It seems everyone either denies the reality of peak oil or believes it can be tackled by totally impractical means.
