Global Oil Supply Now Contracting? |
|
|
Early Warning, 27 July 2010
It's too soon to remove the question mark from the end of the post title, but not too soon to be talking about the subject. For a number of months now, I've been tracking the fairly rapid recovery in global oil production, after the end of the great recession. I even pointed out that there was enough spare capacity in OPEC that it could potentially exceed the previous peak of monthly oil production back in July 2008. I was careful to add this caveat, however, complete with bold font on the "if": Therefore, if the global economic recovery continues, and in particular if OPEC is willing to restore their production cuts at prices that don't derail that recovery, then it appears likely that the July 2008 liquid fuel production level will be exceeded.

Tassie should turn nuclear |
|
|
The Mercury, 22 July 2010
WHAT if I told you Tasmania could keep its clean green image, have a development project as big as the hydro scheme, and bring back Lake Pedder to its original state? What if you could have the pulp mill and yet see an end to old-growth logging? This is what Tasmania could have if it embraced nuclear power and became the electricity generator for the nation.
