via DoP newsletter: PEAK OIL: MODERN SOCIETY 'AT RISK' SAYS LLOYDS A new report from Lloyds Insurance and Chatham House warns of 'dramatic changes in the energy sector... failure to prepare will be expensive and potentially catastrophic'. Modern society has been built on the back of access to relatively cheap, combustible, carbon-based energy sources, the report states, but 'that model is outdated... We are heading towards a global oil supply crunch and price spike (in which) energy infrastructure will become increasingly vulnerable'. The Lloyds analysis is not new; its novelty lies in the fact that two establishment bodies have 'come out' on the subject of peak energy and its possible consequences.
