Is Oil running out faster than current estimates suggest ????
This article claims it is, and whilst being a bit sensationalist about it, they do actually provide some very good evidence for their case ....

We all KNEW this crisis was coming,
but not nearly this soon!
Let's not kid ourselves. EVERYBODY knew 'E-Day' would come one day. You can't burn through a resource that doesn't replace itself... and not expect it to run out eventually!
What hundreds of thousands of people... perhaps millions of people... never realised was that it would happen this SOON!
Even according to plenty of so-called 'experts'... we weren't supposed to run out of energy for another 25-30 years! But that's not the way it's happening!
The mad scramble has already begun. The whispers have started. The world is already off balance. And now, the wide-eyed optimists are in for the SHOCK OF THEIR LIVES!
This devastating event... which nobody expected for decades... is lurking right around the corner. The actual day, according to my best calculations, would be on or around 2 July 2006.

i wouldnt het too worried just yet...the " experts" were doom mongering in the 70's that oil would run out within 25 years. known reserves are now greater than they were then. of course, it WILL happen eventually.

On the other hand - bury your head in the sand and wait for SEO to come good.

Superrod - to be precise Professor Humbert did a lot of studies in the 70's about Peak Oil, for which he was pretty much ostacised by the oil-drilling/trading community. Specifically he predicted Peak Oil for USA in 1971 entirely accurately, since when less and less oil has been extracted from US oil-wells.
Driver - of course the oil is not going to run out on 2nd July 2006 - that is the estimated date of Peak Oil - the date when the maximum rate of extraction worldwide occurs after which it will gradually decline, whilst demand increases. The supply-demand chart crosses (when demand exceeds possible supply) some years hence. But that is less than a generation away.
Another funny fact is that the Saudi Arabian reserves have been stated at almost constant value for 10 years or so, yet no major new oil fields have been discovered. So, haven't we been extracting very much then?
Advice not to worry too much is like someone who thinks it won't hurt if they only drop one piece of litter - oblivious to the thousands of others who might follow his example; or like leaving the tap running when you clean your teeth - surely little me wasting 6 litres of fresh, purified drinking water can't have THAT much affect can it?. Sure, it won't affect our life time that much, probably not our kids, but given that oil was only discovered 100 years or so ago, our grandchildren's generation is less than 50% of that timescale away. Someone (and that means everyone who can!) has got to start planning for that now - we can't afford not to take it seriously.
However, talking about teeth cleaning, the problems of oil shortages (affecting only the industrialised world) are as nothing compared to the water shortages which will soon affect the entire world population. Buy Utilities, die rich but thirsty!

whilst i dont advocate the american view....ie bury your head in the sand and burn,burn,burn, new oilfields are discovered daily, PLUS new technology makes oilfields that were deemed " used " as recently as 5 years ago, viable for residual oil extraction. i remember the mid 60's when oil was just coming into its own.....BBC2 trade test transmissions showed documentaries stating that " plastic is every bit as good " and we all know where plastic comes from. nothing really changes.....oil is the basis for civilisation today, but it wasnt alwas so. and it wont be in the future. when oil REALLY starts running low, i suspect there will be major bucjks to be made ( from oil stocks ). that is until new energy sources take over. and dont think the boffins/governments arent on the case.
nuclear fission ( as opposed to our present neuclear fusion ) is a massive potential source of cheap energy. as human beings we generally have very little understanding of the unbelievable amounts of energy expended every fraction of a second in our universe.
the heat energy alone that falls on earth is about 1.4kW / m ( just from the sun ).
there IS no shortage of energy.......not for several billion years.

we DONT the same as we didnt have nuclear fusion reactors 50 years ago. i find rour remark ( NJ ) just a little bit luddite. there has been more advance in technolgy in the last 100 years than since the big bang. and 90% of it in the last 25 years.

driver...its a slow day and the arguments are pertinent to the stock. ie if oil was free seo would be stuffed.
