TO: The Hon. Alexander Downer MP Minister for Foreign Affairs Federal Member for Mayo 3rd September, 2007 Dear Mr Downer, I greatly appreciate your responses...
Right, well after an eventful morning i've come to realise that a pseudo-peak has hit the Ward-McLean household. Our peugeot was booked in for a service this...
Hey I had a similar experience last week when my car was booked in for a service over 2 days... I took one day off and then the second day I caught the bus to...
Well... It seems the cost of fixing our little Peugeot is roughly equivalent to the car's current value. In fact, if you subtract what we still owe on the car,...
Then again it could be a good time to start learning how to fix the beast yourself out of scrap and baling twine, a handy skill for the future ;) Geoff...
You show me someone who has built a diesel injector pump out of scrap and bailing twine, and I'll show you how to build a time- machine out of toothpicks. ... ...
On a more practical note, there is always the second hand yard, though due to the type of vehicle parts may not be that common. In that there is another...
Hi James, Well I learnt about Peak Oil by speaking to one of lectures who is my supervisor for honours, I was speaking to him saying that i want to research...
I decided to do something a bit different this week. I decided to join a few online discussion boards that I thought would be less likely to share my views on...
James, you're brave taking that on! I think the main problem was you expected intelligence, rational thinking, etc, from people who are willing, if not keen,...
Yes, kudos to you... and you are right. People just do not want to know about anything that will "upset" their current way of being. It is all TOO HARD to...
... All valid points in this thread. Of course there's yet another reason for ignoring peak oil: "Scientists are always inventing new things, so we'll have a...

Hi all, I've set up 2 polls on the website, asking which way you intend to vote on election day: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ASPO_Oz_YoungProf/polls One is...
... I'll start - I'm in Mayo and have Alex (don't look down Alex) Downer as my federal representative. Last election, I was in Kingsford Smith (NSW) so had to...
There is a more comprehensive poll available at: http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/specialreports/election2007/ Get yourself counted! Cheers, James ... to ...
... That was good, but I'm disappointed that it doesn't touch on the issue of overpopulation (surprise!). Take conservation measures for water, for example. We...
Oh, it's simple, isn't it? Thanks to technological advances like desalination plants, and with unlimited supplies of clean coal to power them, we can continue...
... We really are doomed :P ... I agree with you there. Pulling families back together, so that older people rely on their children is also a good start. The...
Yes, so we need to campaign for our government's economists to see "economic decline" as a satisfactory means to achieve efficiency. That is, to value the...
Perhaps phrased not so much "economic decline" as "redistribution" to reduce the potential negative impact. One of the biggest hurdles of such a scheme is...
Sent from ROEOZ for those who don't subscribe there also. The Road Well Travelled http://www.monbiot.com/archives/2007/10/30/the-road-well-travelled/ ...
A lot of people - young and old - like the idea of travelling around the world. Does anyone here have an ethical perspective on this? I don't know. I don't...
