Ugo welcome to TOD:E as a contributor. This is a hell of post to start with.

Report on Euronews

If the hints that the blockade can spread to other states are not just speculation we could be in for some interesting days in Europe.

Thanks Luis. Yes, I think Italy is an interesting case; peak oil troubles may start here first, then spread to the rest of Europe. We'll see. Anyway, as you may imagine, "peak oil" is an absolutely taboo term in the mainstream press, here.

This is a link to the UK organisation "Transaction 2007". This also has been only lightly mentioned in the UK media.

See also a similar organisation that brought the place to a standstill in 2000. They followed a French blockade that was very 'successful'.

This year they plan to begin their action on Saturday 15th December, I don't read that they are co-ordinated with the Italian action (except by 'happy' co-incidence).
