It is absolutely ridiculous to assume that China would be at such a low consumption level in 2030

Hidden deep within the footnotes is the assumption that by 2030, all Chinese are vegetarians

Yeah, I guess that must be it.

I havent read the whole report yet, but it seems rather right-wing to me, am I being biased here? They talk much about Iraq and rants about those pesky "nationalistic chinese people" who think they should be given a fair share, although the report do try to balance it by saying that the US is equally to blame for its "unsustainable extensive" oil use. So the 2 barrel a year Chinese (same as the average Guatemalan) are equally to blame as the 25 barrel a year American. Ludicrous. Its interesting why no report really puts the Chinese demand in perspective, but always tries to imply that the chinese are huge gas guzzlers and that they should start to reduce their excesses...
