Forum for UK ”Peak Oil” Awareness & Discussion Launched

UK oil depletion awareness organisation PowerSwitch.org.uk has officially launched a free forum on Friday 15th April 2005 for people concerned about the imminent peak in global oil production and the consequences to meet, talk and work locally to raise awareness. The ever-rising oil prices are a result of strong global demand soon to be exceeding world supply, It is argued that is because we are fast approaching terminal decline in world production that the world is struggling to meet global needs. That certainly is the perspective taken by bodies such as the Association for the Study of Peak Oil and Gas (www.peakoil.net) , Oil Depletion Analysis Centre (www.odac-info.org) and PowerSwitch (www.PowerSwitch.org.uk).
