TOD EU: UK Government: energy security and climate change

On 5 March 2007 David Miliband MP, Secretary of State for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, a senior minister in the Blair Government delivered a lecture titled “The transition economy: a future beyond oil?”.

Was this the Government’s first “peak oil” speech? Focusing on oil, considering ending the UK’s dependence on oil over the next 15-20 years, creating a post oil economy and calling for “demand reduction – radically reducing our energy needs through much greater energy efficiency.” I think it could be.
