Tony Boys is an expert on the interplay of agriculture and energy…and he happens to live about halfway between Tokyo and Fukushima. For many years he has been warning the world about the perils of nuclear technology, and the unsustainability of our current energy grid and agricultural practices. His blog, part of the excellent website CanDoBetter.net, includes journal entries describing the day-by-day development of the Fukushima disaster.

Kevin,
Just listening to the Tony Boys interview!
I don't actually agree with Tony entirely about Peak Oil, my main area of agreement with him is about the nuclear issue.
He knows this and anyway I am happy you both discussed this for the sake of debate.
He and the Peak Oil folks do not talk about the thornier political aspects, especially Zionist power, or Wall Street speculation, derivatives etc.
which play a big role in affecting commondity (oil) prices.
It is true though that we should think more carefully about energy issues and Tony does a great job on
forcing us in that direction.
I hope you enjoyed it though and as you can tell, Tony likes to talk!
I wrote another piece for Counterpunch and will forward the link to you when it comes out.
Thanks, Richard
