I've been reading a lot about peak oil recently after seeing the documentary Collapse (Michael Rupert documentary)and I wondered whether there were any politicians in the UK taking this seriously.
I came across a cross party committee policy document about Tradable energy quotas

What worries me is the timescale. They are saying that the real impact will start to be felt in 2013 and beyond. The governments response is to electrify the road network! This doesn't really address the real issues regarding feeding the 65 million people on this island when agrochemicals and transport costs start to soar.
The document goes on about how to prepare society for energy descent. I think this is a phrase you should look out for in the near future.
