BP: Climate Policy Will Cause Peak Oil

24-01-2008 15:23

In a unbelievable presentation to the All Party Parliamentary Group on Peak Oil and Gas on 16th January BP's Special Economic Advisor Peter Davies (no other oil company was prepared to address this group) claimed that "there's a distinct possibility that global oil consumption could peak as a result of climate policies" -- in other words NOT because supply problems but because of a reduction in demand!

But the departure points not: military bases, airports and harbours in Europe.
