And don't forget the Daily Express (ignoring Princess Di for once) and their new campaign to cut UK taxes now, rather than when the price REALLY rises.

At 17:10 BST , Chris Skrebowski was interviewed on Radio 4 re PO.

Snippets:

CS'we are at peak light sweet. This is the foothills of Peak oil .'

'when will final peak occur?'

CS'probably 2012-2013.'

pause...'2013?'

The oil price is now lead story on the BBC News website and number 2 on the BBC News channel. What with the bunch of stories turning up in various places it looks like an editor has finally decided to take it seriously.

Still have the non-explanations of the price though; equivalent to shrugging shoulders.

Its not rocket science people!
