Peak Oil Politics
A political party has started acting on Peak Oil.
AT LAST!
What will they do?
Not much - they are not in power, nor are they likely to be for the foreseeable future.
It’s the British National Party.
BUT AT LEAST THEY HAVE A DISCUSSION GROUP.
All the same…
The Times recommends we follow the Transition Towns model.
Do it ourselves.
Work at a community level rather than a political level.
Talk to neighbours, friends and workmates.

I don’t think it’s a great idea to give the BNP any publicity, even if they are talking about Peak Oil. Don’t be fooled by greenwash - they’re a nasty and racist bunch.
On the other hand the Green Party has long been active on the issues of Peak Oil and Climate Change - and with 2 MEPs and over 110 councillors in England we are making a difference, working alongside community groups and transition town initiatives. See http://www.greenparty.org.uk
Keep up the good work on the Island (I grew up there but have since moved away)
