re: #208 Alexzander

Since we were talking about oil yesterday:

From the Guardian: WikiLeaks cables: Saudi Arabia cannot pump enough oil to keep a lid on prices.
US diplomat convinced by Saudi expert that reserves of world’s biggest oil exporter have been overstated by nearly 40%

Surprise, surprise.

I’ve mentioned Twilight in the Desert before, and I still recommend it to those who think drilling for oil is just sticking a straw in the ground and sucking up all the spare oil down there.

Likewise, I have a strong urge to slap all the ‘drill, baby, drill’ folks. There really has to be recoverable oil down there before it will do any good to drill.
