who's holding their breath waiting for peak natural gas and peak oil?

Sorry if I mis-phrased that, I was trying to voice a little scepticism about the imminence of a pipeline from Iran to India.

Doug,
I don't think the idea of "peak natural gas" will mean anything here in Canada. We are tearing over the flat land in our NG "4 By" and all we can see is a nice flat landscape in front of us. But somewhere, close I think, there is a relativly steep cliff cutting that road and we won't see it until we have lift off. Like our good friend W. Coyote we will flail franticly (drill like mad) trying to prevent the fall but we will go down anyway.
In western Canada there is a place called "Buffalo Jump" where the natives drove bison to harvest them by driving them over a cliff. Our NG production is headed there. There is also another place called "Head Smashed In", .. same purpose. We Canadian NG consumers will head to that one.
Don
