$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A') powerpoint presentation released at last by the Department of Energy and Climate Change, in response to freedom of information (FoI) requests by the indefatigable Lionel Badal, shows that in 2007 the Labour government spent six months secretly gaming the likely impacts of declining global oil supplies. The results were not pretty.

UK Report on "Risks & Impacts" of PO

I thought this table showing the actual price impact of various supply disruptions made was interesting enough to lift:
The legitimate object of government, is to do for a community of people, whatever they need to have done, but can not do, at all, or can not, so well do, for themselves -- in their separate, and individual capacities.

Which has been argued to have been caused by PO occurring in 2005.
Sort of like the old question "if a tree falls in the forest but no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?". No one knew at the time that PO had occurred but it made a hell of a sound!

Well, the odds are that for somebody else, you're that person.
So take the amount you think you know, reduce it by 99.999%, and then you'll have an idea of how much you actually know..."
