Australia: Peak oil protest in the city

PEAK-HOUR traffic was faced with the looming reality of “peak oil” this morning.

About 15 concerned demonstrators marched at the intersection of King William St and North Tce between 8am and 9am to raise awareness that petrol will eventually run out.


Organisers Beyond Oil SA called on the State Government to invest more in public transport and review its energy policies to prepare for “a world without oil”.

The demonstrators held signs bearing such slogans as and “Carpool is Cool” and “No Oil = Stranded in the Suburbs” and said the reaction from motorists was encouraging.
