Interesting Peak Oil website: Peak Oil

What are your thoughts? I found it extremily enlightening.

Interesting is certainly one word for it. I was surprised to see that Nick Griffin made an appearance at the Edinburgh conference back in April. It's interesting that the BNP are the most popular party (polling around 2% where they contest) talking about peak oil. It's also scary since if the collapse is particularly bad the public could lose faith in the current government and look around for an alternative. The BNP could in an instant pop up from nowhere with a peak oil agenda. Desperate people in desperate times could vote in desperate ways.

Remember in 1928 the Nazi Party won only 2.8% of the popular vote, in 1930 it won 18.3% and in July 1932 it gained a massive 37.3%. Books have been written on why this was but I think the depression was a significant factor. Peak oil could bring a similar depression to UK shores.

Opps, guess I just lost the argument!

I found this statement from the website:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he BNP is making peak oil a high profile issue for a number of reasons.

Oh yeah, they are not saying anything that hasn't been said by many others for many years... I think the point here is just who's saying it.

I came across the BNP site on Peak Oil a few days ago. Very good I must say. I especially liked those videos where that chap describes Peak Oil with the help of cups.

Ofcourse I am deeply distrustful of the motives of the far right. But on the other hand if they are brave enough to talk about Peak Oil which the mainstream parties are not, I'm think they would deserve any political gains they make as a result of a political realignment post peak oil.


I'm trying to remember where I got the link to the BNP PO site. Was the link put on energybulletin.net?

All of the BNP bashing has been moved to here:

BNP discussion

Please stay on topic.

My understanding is the BNP is composed largely of buffoons. So was the NSDAP, a little German party, until times got truly bad, then some really capable people we at loose ends and went into it and "supercharged" it. The same can be expected to happen with the BNP - hard times will bring a lot of unemployed but very capable people into their ranks. Sad that the major parties never talk about important things like Peak Oil, and the job is left to fringe parties like the BNP.
