Please look at the article below. I think you and your group and your collective terrific work to date can be used. How about some press releases about the availability of SVO and Biodiesel? Contact members of Parliament and the media and provide demos with vehicles using SVO and Biodiesel and their proven successful operation. Help wean UK of toxic Petroleum/oil. Let me know?

Photograph: Steven Scott Taylor/Universal News and Sport Ministers will be ordered to adopt urgent measures to wean the country off oil, amid rising concern that the Libya crisis has left the economy exposed to a dramatic rise in fuel prices. With fears growing that the cost of petrol could hit £2 a litre if instability in the Middle East persists and deepens, every government department will be told this week to comply with a new national carbon plan aimed specifically at getting off the oil hook. The energy secretary, Chris Huhne, told the Observer that the UK had no option but to speed up efforts to move away from oil. Getting off the oil hook is made all the more urgent by the crisis in the Middle East. We cannot afford to go on relying on such a volatile source of energy when we can have clean, green and secure energy from low-carbon sources, he said. The carbon plan is about ensuring that the whole of government is engaged in a joined-up effort to lead us into a low-carbon world. The transport secretary, Philip Hammond, who has infuriated green groups by floating the idea of raising the motorway speed limit from 70mph to 80mph, will be told he must produce a nationwide strategy to promote installation of infrastructure for electric cars by June. It is also expected that new deadlines will be set for building low-carbon homes, and that a firm starting date of September 2012 will be established for a new green investment bank to become fully operational. The Carbon Plan will be launched this week by David Cameron, his deputy Nick Clegg and Huhne. In a tacit admission that ministers have failed so far to live up to their claim to be part of the greenest government ever, the prime minister will, in effect, make their job security dependent on green achievement by demanding that those whose departments fall short of environmental targets write to him with a full explanation of what went wrong. And in another extraordinary move, non-governmental organisations, including Greenpeace, will be asked to play a monitoring role to ensure progress across each department is maintained. Sources have told the Observer that Clegg unhappy that the coalition could not boast more green achievements had recently chaired meetings with ministers in growing frustration that some departments were not taking their green responsibilities seriously enough. In a speech last week, Huhne warned that China was pouring money into developing a low-carbon economy while Britain lagged behind. China will build 24 nuclear power stations in the time it takes us to build one. By 2020, their nuclear capacity will have increased tenfold, he said. They will lay 16,000km of high-speed rail track in the time it takes us to go from London to Birmingham. They have the highest installed hydro-capacity and the most solar water heaters in the world. And they are forging ahead on wind power. So China knows what's coming. John Sauven, executive director of Greenpeace UK, said that despite the initiative, which was welcome, only some in government appeared to understand the need to break free from oil. Sadly, over at transport, Philip Hammond is still confused. Cuts to public transport, coupled with his recent proposals to raise the speed limit, appear designed to reduce fuel efficiency and increase our dependence on oil. Huhne really needs to drag Hammond away from Top Gear and force him to spend some time watching the news, he said. The sharp rise in oil prices to a two-and-a-half-year high has already pushed unleaded fuel to £1.30 a litre. With the government facing growing calls for action, the chancellor offered his firmest hint yet that he would stop a planned 1p-a-litre rise in fuel duty due to come into effect next month in

I published my notes on the Bessler list how momentum can be manipulated to extract power.

Re: [Biofuel] Oil prices: Urgent steps needed to wean UK onto other energy sources, MPs say
Hello Paul Hi Keith, Has your time come? Which time is that Paul? I changed countries in the meantime, I'm in Cape Town now, for the last week, not Kyoto anymore. Lots to do! But I'm a bit whacked, it took a lot of very hard work for weeks before I could prise myself out of Japan, gruelling, I have to take it easy for a bit. (Old age is the most unexpected of all things that happen to a man. -- Leon Trotsky. LOL!!) Please look at the article below. I think you and your group and your collective terrific work to date can be used. It has already been and still is being massively used. It's spawned hundreds of spin-off projects, worldwide, that I know of, and there's reason the suspect there are many others that I don't know of. Plenty of room for more though. How about some press releases about the availability of SVO and Biodiesel? Contact members of Parliament and the media and provide demos with vehicles using SVO and Biodiesel and their proven successful operation. Help wean UK of toxic Petroleum/oil. Let me know? Not me - it's for activists in the UK to do that, the JtF website and the list archives provide good resources for it. You might say I'm just a wholesaler, and this is retail. Thanks for the Guardian article (No, the list doesn't accept attachments.)
