Keith, I certainly didn't mean to imply in my original post that I viewed deserts as worthless. That was the reason for the quotation marks. Sorry if I came off that way. Brian --- In biofuel@yahoogroups.com, Keith Addison <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Derek and all > > There are woodlan

Derek, This has already ended and that is why you see the higher oil prices, despite efforts to lower the price. The reason is that we probably do not have the production margins needed to effect the price. Could also be a reason why US are buying to the national storage, without even trying

Hi Hakan, I tend to agree with you. And, it was certainly an eye opener when Shell admitted that it has been overstating its reserves for years. Yes, one must wonder how many of the other companies have been doing likewise. Still, I am not as sure as you that we are at the end...yet. For examp

Hi Hakan, I hadn't read that one yet. Thank you. I guess 'time will tell!' Certainly fossil fuels are a finite resource and we are going through them faster and faster. I guess, how soon they will be depleted depends a bit upon how optimistic one is and how far one wants to push the 'assumpti

Derek, The impact of depletion, in conjunction to what happened the last century is very interesting. I have gradually come to the opinion of, that the situation is much more serious than the majority of experts belive. It is probably too late for a soft detox already and the urgency to work

Hakan, My condolences. Although I hesitate to speak for the list in general, you and I have been here together for a number of years. You speak out much more frequently than I, but regardless, I think after a while of sharing experiences together, albeit through a list, one gets a feeling of f
