Ashley Seager reports in The Guardian on Monday 26th October, 2009:
A post-oil world gets less sci-fi by the day
"Imagine what would happen if [oil] prices rose, say, to $300 a barrel. Or higher. Not only would it become too expensive to drive unless absolutely necessary, but food would become prohibitively expensive to transport, goods from China would be too expensive to ship, and plastics, which come from oil, would be unaffordable..."
It's good to see the mainstream media covering oil and energy scarcity but what took them so long?!
