Episode IV: A New Pope
Text against a background of Stars:
A Short Time Ago, In a Galaxy not very far away

Opening Crawl:
It was a dark time for the Galaxy
The scattered and divided remnants
of the fourth workers republic were being
Satirised by the dark forces of Windymedia.
Meanwhile the population of the galaxy were held
In thrall by a mysterious force called Darth Papious
Who even from beyond the grave could muster great forces
To the cause of telling big whopping fibs about his eventful life. read full story / add a comment

The general consensus is that if gas prices fall ChevronTexaco’s $16 billion purchase of Unocal was a huge mistake. The author of this article makes the convincing argument that this “risk” was made because ChevronTexaco’s CEO, David O’Reilly, knows that the peak in oil production is going to happen sooner rather then later.

Though the author points out that the government is doing little about the situation he fails to note that the funded research into hydrogen as a fuel is useless without a way to make Hydrogen without oil. read full story / add a comment
