Fitzsimons in Dunedin to Launch Peak Oil Plan (New Zealand)

Green Co-Leader Jeanette Fitzsimons will be in Dunedin on Monday to publicly launch the Party’s plan to prepare for ‘Peak Oil’, the end of cheap oil.

“The price of oil is now over $60 a barrel, two years ago it was $30. Petrol at the pump is now $1.40 a litre. We do not believe this is a temporary situation – as oil fields deplete prices are likely to go even higher,” Ms Fitzsimons says.
