Colin Campbell explains oil depletion and peak oil: "Understanding depletion is simple. Think of an Irish pub. The glass starts full and ends empty. There are only so many more drinks to closing time. It’s the same with oil. We have to find the bar before we can drink what’s in it."

In other words its running out folks and that spells trouble. So instead of having peak oil and the likely projections and consequences explained and discussed nightly on the news, we have the puerile trash of 'finance news', which follows the equally offensive and puerile trash of 'political news' where lying and criminal politicians claim that the motives of invading Iraq were (or at least now) are to find WMDs, war against terrorism, or 'build democracy', instead of the obvious motive of seizing control of the world's largest remaining energy reserves.
