    Australia's lack of fuel security

    "Our way of life
    depends upon cheaper oil and fuel coming from overseas, but it does so at the cost of our security and resilience...The thought of not having food in cupboards and fridges or prescription medicines would likely exercise people's minds a lot more than the ill-informed thoughts they had during COVID about toilet paper." >>

    Tangled up in oil in Petrotopia

    Imagine life on an Island that has to import 91% of fuel from overseas.
    And the entire matrix of the place has been set up for oil dependency a century ago.

    Without a car there is no mobility (in Petrotopia)
    Without a car one can't get stuff (made /transported by fossil fuels)
    Without a car one can't get to work or other places
    Without a car one can't drop off the kids
    Without a car one can't empty the dogs
    Without a car one can't go for a walk
    Without a car /mower one can't do the endless lawns
    Without a car/ boat/ plane one can't re-create or have a holiday

    Australia is reliant on imports for around 91% of fuel consumption.
