Some people don't think much of elections, but it's important to remnember that they concentrate the minds of the establishment. From Spain in the 30's, Chile in the 70's, to modern day Venezuela, democratic elections have thrown up results which have rocked the forces of right-wing conservatism to the core. While some people think you shouldn't vote, most people believe it's important to register. ... read full story / add a comment

Peak Oil Theory has been around since the 1970s. Some think we have already reached 'peak oil', others think it will happen with the next twenty-five years. The theory argues that when we reach 'peak oil' the rate at which we extract oil from the earth (measured in millions of barrels per day) will reach a maximum and thereafter will start to drop. As the rate at which we use oil is currently close to the rate at which we extract it, the point of peak oil will coincide or be closely followed by the world consuming more oil than it is producing. As oil reserves are very limited, within months there simply will not be enough oil available. ... read full story / add a comment
