Gail,

I would suggest that on slide 23 and continuing with the comment below, you might insert something about how the IEA is preparing a sharp downward revision of it's oil-supply forecast in November 2008. (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121139527250011387.html?mod=googlenews_w...)

Comment: It is easy to see how this myth might arise, if people believe published reserves.

Thanks for the idea. I added a comment labelled May '08 about the expected change in IEA production, since this information was not known in March, when this was written.

Thanks for putting together this TOD "bible". It is an important piece of work that can be easily disseminated. You've done a great service.

I would like to make a request of the TOD staff. Would you consider posting this PO Overview at the top of TOD each day so that newcomers will see this first and then put the Drumbeats and featured articles below that?

Just a thought, since this article is an excellent read for newbies to TOD.

If a person happens to notice the "overview" rectangle at the top of the page when you log on to TOD, clicking on it will bring up this article. I'm not sure if people notice the rectangle, however.

I figured there was a way to get to this, but I think now, especially in light of recent media blitz, this needs to be MUCH more prominent and easy to get to when first getting on TOD.

My perspective.

I'll see what I can do. I think that was why it was re-run this week-end.
