Many experts are now agreeing that world production of oil is reaching its peak and that we have reached the point of maximum production from which the only way is down. What will this mean for a country as dependent on oil as Ireland (Ireland has the 7th highest consumption per person of any country in the world, the USA is 30th)? We import over 80% of our food, and over 85% of our energy. How can be begin be become more self reliant, and thus less at the mercy of international events?
