Morale's nationalization of Bolivia's oil fields is surely just the
opening gambit.
I dare say the rulers of Central and South America are quite familiar with
the notion of Peak Oil...
True. Just to clarify when I said the oil will remain "relatively constant"
I didn't mean as far as what is left in the ground, which is obviously
finite. I just meant that all cutting some fraction of middle eastern
imports will likely do under Bush's plan is just shift that percentage
towards oil imported from somewhere else, that is, our import remains
relatively constant. In short, I don't trust what he is saying. But that's
just me.
