I thought the newsnight report on Friday the 2nd of june on Russian energy geopolitics more dramatic.

"2006 will be remember as the year energy transformed geopolitics"

the "if" program was ok but unclear in its message

Snippet from today's Telegraph:

A warning regarding the tax hike implications if oil falls in price.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/main.jhtml?xml=/money/2006/06/05/cnoil05.xml&menuId=242&sSh eet=/money/2006/06/05/ixcity.html

However, the last paragraph regarding field size was the bit that caught my eye:

`'Nearly all of the next generation of oil fields are expected to hold 15m to 20m barrels each compared with an average of 30m over the past 10 years''.

That's right: 20 million Barrels

Add this warning to last week's capital expenditure graph and then join the dots...

It is a shame that ''If...'' was so ham-fisted. It may completely switch a good debate off.
