The Project

The Energy Beyond Oil Project is a collaboration between environmental researchers and campaign groups that aims to provide a clear picture of the energy future of the UK, and the globe. The EBO Project is working to to provide the public with all the information relevant to these issues, and provide information on some of the things we can all do to reduce the impacts of these projected energy shortages on our lives.

Today many scientists and energy industry researchers are saying that there could be a significant reduction in energy supply as the energy resources we rely upon – in particular oil and natural gas – begin to run out. At the same time, the development of alternative sources of energy is not happening smoothly, and in many places it is being resisted by those who oppose the 'industrialisation' of the countryside.

In reality, the answer to these problems has little to do with the debate over energy today because the position of the government, or energy groups, is based upon our current systems of energy production and use. We argue that the response to these issues is not "business as usual", but "business as unusual". The answer is not changing our sources of energy, but cutting energy use to a level that is physically and environmentally sustainable.
