Cheer up: the world has plenty of oil.....hm, really?
This week an article by Robin Mills, an energy consultant, appeared on the website of the European Energy Review. The piece sparked a controversial debate among the readers.
Especially questionable appear his assumptions about the energy value of different sources ("to the consumer, the source of the fuel that goes into the tank is irrelevant"), his belief that oil as fuel can be replaced by alternative fuels without any difficulty, as for example the substition by LNG or nuclear power on ships, as well as his total neglection environmental effects by the production of unconvetional oil (e.g. tar sand).
Mills' opininion is also contrasted by the article of James Murra and David King ("Oil's tipping point has passed") in Nature (No. 481, p. 433-435).

Yes this is a conspiracy theory but he does raise some interesting questions like why is Oil found 40,000 feet(7 miles) below the surface if it is composed of dead plant and animal matter? Someone hear should know the answer if there is one.
We were wrong on peak oil. There's enough to fry us all

Peak oil hasn't happened, and it's unlikely to happen for a very long time.
So says a leading UK ecology advocate, George Monbiot.

The world's most powerful nation is again becoming an oil state, and if the political transformation of its northern neighbour is anything to go by, the results will not be pretty.
Rick,
I don't follow Canadian politics, what is going on that is not pretty?
