While Googling “Peak Oil” this morning the first link to appear was:

Encircling the peak of world oil production - an evaluation
The Oil Drum - Euan Mearns, Stuart Staniford - ‎1 hour ago‎
Duncan and Younquist tell us that peak oil will be buried in a bumpy plateau and that a number of years must pass before it will be evident from declining ...

Clicking on the link brought a big fat:

Why? Anyone have any ideas? Why would "The Oil Drum: Europe" post an article and not give us permission to access it?

Works for me. Worked for me earlier, too.

They had some technical difficulties this morning. That might have something to do with it.

Or they may have withdrawn the article temporarily, then reposted it. That sometimes happens when they want do editing/correction after an article has been posted.

Same thing happened to me a week ago refreashing the oil drum, but 5 min later I was back up on TOD.

The latter is what happened. Euan has taken down the article in order to make some corrections.

It will be re-posted (and probably front-paged) later.

Should be live now.
