Peak oil preview: London motorists could soon be without gasoline | SmartPlanet (via stopkillingourworld)
It’s started.

The line that cracks me up is the one at the bottom of the article about the bus schedule. This refinery that’s closing because it’s owners are financially shafted supplies the South East of England. It’s not just London. London is tiny. London in fact, has it easy (even though obvs, the buses run on petrol).
It’s places a little further out (like… the entire rest of the South East) that’ll be worse off. I didn’t get the bus to school when I was a kid because if I was at the bus stop at 7am, there was no guarantee that any bus would arrive at all (even though it was scheduled to be there at 7.10am and every half an hour after that. I remember waiting nearly 2 hours for a bus that… I don’t know if it ever arrived actually. With 10 minutes to go (for my 40 minute bus journey), I walked back home, raided my piggy bank and called a taxi.
At least the buses are somewhat regular in London.
