I’m off to Pisa next week for the ASPO conference. It has been funny how many people have said “the ASBO conference?”, imagining I am off to spend a weekend with lots of teenage reprobates in hoodies hanging around threateningly in a shopping centre in Pisa. This means that there will be no new posts here for the next while, as I am getting back from that and am then away again, so postings over the next 3 weeks or so will be sporadic. I’ll be back with you in full-time blogging mode by **August 14th**, so see you then. Anyway, I determined that I was not going to fly to a peak oil conference, I just couldn’t do it, so I am going by train. In my preparing to do so I have to draw your attention to the great Man in Seat 61.

Well it has arrived. No surprises. I wanted to welcome its arrival, and its effective waving goodbye to any kind of concerted national Powerdown by sharing with you this card I found in a card shop in St. Ives, which somehow for me encapsulates the role Government has chosen to play in all this. I love the guy furthest to the right, looks like he died and the rest of them couldn’t do without him around so they had him stuffed and propped up in his favourite chair.

‘Peak Oil’, a new film produced by Australian Four Corners broadband in Australia, is an excellent new documentary on peak oil, and is a great example of online films. It features Colin Campbell, Robert Hirsch, Chris Skrebowski among others in a powerful summarisation of the peak oil case. The reporter, Jonathan Holmes, travels around the world trying to assess the global picture, visiting Kuwait and Alberta among other places. Running at about 50 minutes, it is
