Preparing for Peak Oil - a new report from ODAC
ODAC has prepared a Peak Oil report aimed specifically at local government
in the UK called Preparing for Peak Oil (PDF, 528 Kb)
http://www.odac-info.org//welcome/documents/PFPO_Final.pdf
From the report Policy Summary:
"The purpose of this report is to summarize which authorities are doing
what, and to draw together the most promising polices for tackling peak
oil, so that all British local authorities can benefit from best practice
being developed both at home and abroad. Almost every area of policy is
affected, from public transport to planning, and the report is especially
relevant for councils affected by the planned expansion of Britain's
airports: mass air travel could be an early casualty of peak oil.
The suggested policy changes are usually complimentary to those required
to combat global warming, but there are also important distinctions that
may affect the conclusions drawn by local authorities.
This is particularly true of natural gas, where supply difficulties are
also expected in the relatively short term. But whatever the motivation
of a particular council - climate change or peak oil - many of the
suggested policies would also reduce expenditure almost immediately simply
by saving energy."
Copies of the report can be ordered, free of charge, from ODAC for either
members of local government, or Councillors. e-mail:
