We aim to encourage collaborative contingency planning by government, industry, and communities on measures that can be taken to accelerate independent energy supply within the UK. In preparing this report, we asked ourselves three related questions: How big is the risk from peak oil? How big is the alternative-energy opportunity? How do the two conflate?

Who are we? ...a group working towards a sustainable low-carbon lifestyle, based in West Kirby and elsewhere on the Wirral. We are one of dozens of Transition Town groups that have formed over the last two years throughout the UK and around the world. The global challenges of climate change and energy shortages are approaching - we feel that we may not be able to do much at a global level, but can do a lot at the level of the local community. We feel it is better to plan a local response in advance than wait until the problems become a crisis. And we feel that there will be many advantages of a low-carbon lifestyle. Membership is open to all at no charge.
