The Sydney Morning Herald has been running a series of extracts from Australian scientist Tim Flannery’s new book. I couldn’t fit a link to this one in that last sentence. I came across these references from Big Gav’s Peak Energy blog, where he discusses lots of interesting stuff including the excellent prospects for geothermal energy in Australia.
Call me Captain Obvious, but I think now would be a good time to invest in some alternative energy companies. Nuclear energy interests, uranium mining companies, wind and solar power as well as geothermal power companies could be good prospects. I’ll be looking further into this.
