Minister Ryan meets Dr. Fatih Birol of International Energy

You are one of the only ministers globally brave enough to bring this information to the people. There are only 2 others I know of, Andrew McNamara from Queensland Australia and U.S. Congressman Roscoe Bartlett
Thank you
Robert
Alas, nearly all renewable energy is dependent on fossil fuels

How can the IEA still argue that oil production will continue to rise until 2030? While it seems even more obvious Peak Oil will happen within the next 5 years, 2011 according to Chris Skrebowski. The IEA says that non-conventional oil (e.g. tar sands) and other alternatives such as GTL will contribute (almost entirely) to the increase and compensate the stagnation/decline in conventional oil fields. But dont they see the current financial crisis will not let that happen?
