article against Bakken oil hype

                                         
                                        
 from The Oil Drum:                        
                                     
This article (post) is somewhat long         
due to the analyses it presents in   
order to make clear what is true         
regarding economically recoverable
oil in the Bakken Formation of the
Williston Basin in Montana, North    
Dakota, and surrounding areas.  As
always with sites allowing comments,
the comments are often as informative
as is the post they relate to.  Read
at least the first twenty or so.  
                                     
To repeat the obvious:  No matter    
how much new oil is found on this    
planet--and there are new finds off
the coast of Brazil and around and
in Australia, the best information
available concludes that the world's
supply of fossil fuels is declining
even as consumption is accelerating.
                                    
Just as we have become addicted to  
debt, so have we become addicted to
FF (as one commenter termed it).  
We need to change how we live.  I,
alas, have been forced to somewhat
change due to illnesses.  If you--
as I am--are a believer, you just  
might agree with me: an illness is
not always a negative condition.
