On that point DF, check out Kurt Cobb's latest (in which he is very kind to TOD) here, where he makes the point that we might be cutting into CERA market share. &snicker&

Yea, in London last week, Peter Jackson sat and stared at me a lot. I'm just writing up a critique of his predictive powers :-))

I take it that this Peter Jackson is not the same Peter Jackson that livened up Christmas for three years on the trot?

But next time you see him, wind him up by telling him the middle film was the weakest :-)

You really shouldn't have all these snikerty insider jokes. Newbies to TOD are rudely left out in the dark.

For info of those who don't know: there is another Jackson who was involved in production of the movie, Lord of the Rings --and "My Precious" is a line by the oger in that movie.

I suppose there's one in every crowd. Do you feel compelled to explain magic tricks as well?

That piece by Kurt Cobb's should be in the editorial section of every major newspaper in the world tomorrow.

Too bad Peak Oil is going to be lost in the cloud of geopolitics - which is what Dannyboy Yerginz et. al are counting (Betting) on and iw what they will use as their excuse for ever more - "If THAT didn't happen we would have been right!!!".

MY Peak Oil PRoJecTion:

A Head & Shoulders chart pattern starting with a rapid decline in world production soon (btwn Tomorrow morning and 2008 - caused by geopoliTICs), followed by a strong recovery in world production starting around 2020 (+/- 4 yrs), peaking by 2030, slightly below the GeopoliTICal Peak of 1980, and then ...

and then those who had successful Profoundly Local Plan Bz can get together and cobble the next civilization. Maybe.
