** Timecodes for the questions we asked Nicole **
00:00:00 – Introduction
00:00:41 – What is the relationship between energy and economics?
00:08:05 – What is peak oil and why is it important?
00:15:57 – How do you respond to those who say that, due to the shale boom in the US, ‘peak oil is dead’?
00:30:27 – Can you describe the essence of the global financial system and explain why it’s so fragile?
00:38:37 – Could you please explain your understanding of the global financial crisis and what role expensive oil played in this?
00:46:43 – You have argued that the instability of the financial system is of greater and more immediate concern than climate change and peak oil. Please elaborate.
01:00:10 – What is your take on whether renewables or nuclear energy will be able to save us from peaking energy resources?
01:06:18 – You’ve said that the system cannot be reformed. Why can’t strong financial regulation, environmental regulation, redistributing through taxation help?
01:17:34 – You’ve said that the future belongs to the adaptable. What is resilience and how do we become more resilient?
01:31:30 – Would it be fair to summarise that strategic advice by saying that the main thing we need to do is try to prefigure a low energy, low consumption, simpler way of living?
01:41:35 – You’ve said that building community is one of the most important things we can do. Why do you think this is?
01:47:53 – When thinking about the world, I constantly find myself battling to find a space between naive optimism and despair. Can the crises underway and on their way be turned into opportunities?
