Although it hasn’t been a great year for apples undoubtedly some of us have apples that we would like to turn into juice- or maybe you know someone who has extra apples, or a tree that sheds them freely on the pavement…..

If you would like to borrow the TTc apple press it is available for loan- get in touch via our email ; transitiontownclitheroe@googlemail.com

We also have a pasteuriser which can be used to pasteurise any juice you make.

TTC Oct 6th IT2.0 Film showing

George Monbiot recently wrote a piece called ‘We were wrong on peak oil. There’s enough to fry us all’. This was based on a report by the oil executive Leonardo Maugeri. Monbiot concluded ‘Peak oil hasn’t happened, and it’s unlikely to happen for a very long time.’ http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/jul/02/peak-oil-we-we-wrong

Now comes a rebuttal by David Strahan in last week’s New Scientist ‘We’re still on the slippery slope to peak oil’. He writes ‘Unfortunately, any reasonable reading suggests Maugeri is wide of the mark’ citing very dubious assumptions and glaring mathematical mistakes by Maugeri as well as a paper from the International Monetary Fund. http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21528786.300-were-still-on-the-slippery-slope-to-peak-oil.html

If the Monbiot-Maugeri reading was right, the transition movement would have some serious rethinking to do. Strahan, one of the most reliable commentators on peak oil, shows that the peak oil problem hasn’t gone away after all.
