On Wednesday 7th November 2007 the mainstream 10:30pm ITV news in the UK discusses the "peak oil" documentary Crude Awakening, hears the IEA warning of much higher oil prices, shows how many countries have already peaked and speaks to David Strahan (lastoilshock.com).
In the UK, today's coverage has been driven by the psychological £1 per litre being crossed for the first time (BBC News). Crossing the other threshold of $100 oil, will likely drive further peak oil discussions in the mainstream.
Just yesterday Euan highlighted recent coverage of Peak Oil in the Mainstream Business Press.
