Reaction to Peak Oil starts close to home

Last month the Cowichan Valley Regional District overwhelmingly rejected a motion on peak oil.

That is a most disappointing development, since this issue threatens our way of life and our very existence.

The reasons given for turning down the motion are simple. It is a global issue that is not within the purview of the CVRD. The majority at the CVRD feel there is nothing that they can do about it.

This demonstrates a total lack of vision, and a failure to understand the consequences of ignoring this issue.
