Chevron are being quite interesting at the moment, with their talk about moving into other forms of Energy Production. Although publically, they don’t talk about PO being in the very near future… it’s still interesting they’ve started discussing it (though there’s lots of marketting speach so they don’t have to say the dreaded ‘Peak Oil’ words).

Rueters has a good article on Oil Production Rates.

Finally, closer to home (UK home, not Japan home), will the Olympics even be feasible??? Now, amusing at it was to beat the French to it, I personally think the Olympics are a big waste of money when there will be more important things to worry about. It’s just as stupid as the large amount of money that’s being wasted on Heathrow expansion work.
