This is the first time on Australian television to my knowledge, that someone of Richard Heinberg's calibre has been interveiwed on a prime time current affairs programme.
Being aired on the Government owned television three days after the pathetic performance of PM Rudd on the subject, Richard was a breath of fresh air on the realities of the subject.

Heinberg was interviewed on Lateline just a few days before.

The ABC has been "switched on" with this issue for a while now... A quick search of the ABC web site will give you a number of hits.

Check out Crude.

I bought this at the ABC store and was disappointed to see that the extended interviews available for viewing for free on the web site are not available on the DVD.

Also, take a look at the 4 Corners production Peak Oil from way back in '06.

I could launch from here into an psycho-babble essay on the reasons why people keep plugging away with BAU but I'm sure that topic has been fairly well flogged to death already.

Regards
Mash
