From oil dependence to local resilience

I hear petrol is up again today

On Afternoons on Radio NZ there seems to be a regular discussion on the price of petrol and the price of oil. Do you think someone could post an ongoing trend graph here so that we can keep a track of it all? I might say the comments were on the whole a little more realistic, but of course someone said there was a new field in Brazil just discovered. I suppose it would keep the world going a few days more? And oil was $18 a barrel in 2000. Perhaps we need two graphs, one for oil and one for petrol.

There are some interesting graphs on the Ministry of Economic Development website at: http://www.med.govt.nz/templates/ContentTopicSummary____20094.aspx

This one might be interesting, too!

Neil Mander of the Sustainable Energy Forum has just posted a graph of world oil prices over the past four years on the SEF web site at

He plans to keep this updated regularly, and we may add some other graphs as well.

That is the sort of graph we need (minus the gold price perhaps) as an RSS feed into this site somewhere somehow. Can you invite Neil to join this network Tim and somehow organise this? The MED graphs look a bit less suitable, don't know if I reached the right ones ever.
