While the world economic crisis has significantly slowed down global oil consumption and sent prices plummeting to an all-time low, is there now a danger that we are no longer feeling the urgency to address the situation as we should be? Does a solution really depend on the ability of the market to adjust? And are we investing enough time and resources in looking for viable alternatives? And if oil prices do shoot up again, and gas-rich Russia, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela and Iran become increasingly powerful, what are the implications for the new world order? linkTaking part in the discussion will be Jeremy Leggett, environmentalist and journalist, Chris Skrebowski, from the Petroleum Review, Dr. Leo Drollas of CGES and Simon Taylor, from Global Witness.
