You can vote for me, if you live in the electorate of Charlton...I'll be putting my web-page together tomorrow.

One thing to note about the Greens: Greenpeace has consistently called Peak Oil theory (and, now, I guess, fact) a "Big Oil Schill" or a plant or put-up job as Big Oil tries to distract from Global Warming.
I get the feeling the anti-Global Warming and Peak Oil Activist Jeremy Leggett (Hope I've spelt his name correctly) this anti-peak oil Feeling of Greenpeace may well be why he left the organisation.

I know the Green candidate in Charlton, a woman by the name of Susan Pritchard. I don't think she's ever heard of Peak Oil (but I could be wrong).
I've been trying to get freight back to rail (and hence try to stave off the worst effects of Peak Oil) since the early 1990's. I didn't know about Peak Oil formally until 2000~2003, when i found out about Life After The Oil Crash. In the course of trying to get rail back as the Primary Means of Land Transport in Australia, i had to learn about the Oil Industry, and knew of Oil depletion, but I did not know it was called "Peak Oil".
Uh, I'm confused, why are you conflating the Greens with Greenpeace? Most Green members and candidates seem to be peak oil aware in my experience. In fact, they've repeatedly called on state and federal government's to adopt the oil depletion protocol. And it was Greens senator Christine Milne that proposed the Senate Inquiry into Australia's future oil supply and alternative transport fuels. What Greenpeace thinks about peak oil is irrelevant, much like the organisation itself (these days).
