DO YOU HAVE THE ATTITUDE CORRELATED WITH YOUR WRITINGS ??

Well for nearly 3 years I've been working on a voluntary basis writing articles for The Oil drum, working from home.

I drive a 15 year old Volvo, which is kept in good efficient order (replacing it would use much energy), and drive about 5000 miles / year.

I do not object to paying high European gasoline taxes and would not object to paying more tax on air travel, though I don't fly that much these days.

My home is well insulated and likely well above average in terms of energy efficiency.

I do recognise, however, that achieving energy efficiency costs much money, and is beyond the pocket of many folks, and would like to see our UK government provide greater subsidies for introducing energy efficiency measures to the home.

don't the French also have the saying?: "nous considérons impoli de taper toutes les capitales"

Nice work Euan. Change is coming. We can hope for it to be bigger or in the right direction, but unfortunately we'll not likely get both.

APPARENTLY YOU HAVE PLENTY USED OIL / GAS. AIRPLANES etc.....

Euan's efforts here at TOD have created a mindshift among 10s of thousands directly (and untold millions indirectly) that are paving the way to a new understanding of;

1. Our impending liquid fuels risks
2. The courses of action we need to take to mitigate those risks

JOSEPH-EMILE, I suggest that you either provide information that shows how the risks can be mitigated, and the steps that you are taking, or realize that vous juste pissez dans le vent.

Euan, good post, keep fighting the good fight.
