I had to go to Google, use advanced search against the "arlingtoninstitute.org" domain searching for "martin" to nail it down. TIA needs to do some work with their site as there are no links at the top page. Here's the podcast:<BR/><BR/>http://www.arlingtoninstitute.org/library/davidmartin_05.aspAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864176.post-1157032301995705592006-08-31T23:51:00.000+10:002006-08-31T23:51:00.000+10:00Thanks for the feedback Anon.Words fail me about t...Thanks for the feedback Anon.<BR/><BR/>Words fail me about the Rodent these days - but I understand why many people think the ODP think the ODP is a good idea.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure fisheries are a good comparison.<BR/><BR/>1. They can be managed by a single goverment<BR/>2. Fish supply renews if managed correctly<BR/><BR/>Having to get all governments to agree seems impossible to me (its not in the interests of many of them for starters) - and in any case - peak oil is all about substituting other energy sources for oil - so focussing on rationing oil is the wrong place to put our emphasis...Big Gavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00682404837426502876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864176.post-1157031345024522112006-08-31T23:35:00.000+10:002006-08-31T23:35:00.000+10:00Big Gav,I think you are probably right about the p...Big Gav,<BR/>I think you are probably right about the prospects of the ODP. Especially here at the moment where we have a PM that thinks the solution to high land prices is for the states to release more land and quickly! Idiot. Thats the logic of the road to hell.<BR/><BR/>But a similar quota system has already been implemented in Oz in many of the closed fisheries.. to good effect in the SA Lobster industry I believe. So we know it can work...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864176.post-1157025929851806372006-08-31T22:05:00.000+10:002006-08-31T22:05:00.000+10:00:-)I keep a low profile as giant reptiles wanderin...:-)<BR/><BR/>I keep a low profile as giant reptiles wandering the streets can alarm some people.<BR/><BR/>The best way to find me in a crowd is to simply look for the biggest person - its the technique my friend's use at large events and it seems to work.<BR/><BR/>The crowd was a bit different to the people who usually hang out in the big end of town - as you said, young and old - and obviously a lot more used to outdoor life - the permaculturists have quite a distinctive look.<BR/><BR/>Glad you agree with my thoughts on the ODP - I'm not trying to be negative about it, but it simply doesn't seem practical from a political point of view.Big Gavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00682404837426502876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864176.post-1157012954972365592006-08-31T18:29:00.000+10:002006-08-31T18:29:00.000+10:00hey mr big gav, i looked around for you but could ...hey mr big gav, <BR/>i looked around for you but could not find you at the church the other night. you obviously did not have your full set of teeth... <BR/><BR/>as you say, there was nothing new for the regular readers of your blog like myself, but for many uninitiated punters, it was encouraging. and extreamly so to see so many people there, old and young. also, so many from the mountains!<BR/><BR/>i agree with you re protocol, considering how long the kyoto took, and how watered down it is, and the same kind of players, ie the carbon club will be involved. wanted to ask the question to heinberg, but we had to leave to catch the train up the hill. <BR/><BR/>during the break, i asked heinberg about the ghawar producing only 3 mbd , he said only the time will tell, but his source was credible. and the saudi has a huge storage.<BR/><BR/>all the best,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
