I just finished reading an article in the October 2009 [!!] issue of _Scientific American_ by an oil expert, concerning peak oil. He was pretty convincing about the possibility of recovering much more oil than they used to get out of the ground, along with finding new supplies and substitutes for petroleum.
The trouble is, of course, that "peak oil" would be a good thing, so that if he's right, it's bad news. We have to stop using oil and other hydrocarbons as much as possible, ASAP. -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti."
