Canada: NDP yet to break its silence on peak oil

The federal Green party’s B.C. organizer wonders how committed the NDP is to climate change and addressing peak oil, especially when its provincial leader, Carole James, drives a crossover SUV.

Ben West told the Georgia Straight he was unaware that James owns a Subaru Forester


“How often does she go off-roading? I’m curious,” West said.

On November 1, the Straight reported the findings of the Germany-based Energy Watch Group’s 101-page report on global crude-oil supplies. EWG stated that, according to their findings, global availability of oil had peaked in 2006 and is now in irreversible decline, adding that “peak oil is here and now”.
