Date: Sat, 15 May 2004 11:44:51 +0100 Mark Plus tells us "told you so" - just as people were 30 years ago... Have a look at the slides in: http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3623549.stm about world oil reserves. In particular, look at slide #2, in the slide show: "How long will it last? The short answer is no-one knows, but even the oil industry suspects the world "peak" is now approaching. It says it has 40 years of proven reserves at the moment - but it also said that 30 years ago. In fact, the estimate has actually increased in recent years as production has fallen. Cutting consumption would prolong oil's life."
