[Peakoil] Peak Oil in Senate Question Time yesterday

[leigh.kite at medicareaustralia.gov.au]

Yeah, so the fact that oil costs more makes there be more in the ground
then?

I don't know about you, but I'm convinced.  :(

Cheers,

Ah, the triumph of market ideology over risk management!

My favourite:

"Of course, the extent to which there is exploration for and discovery
of oil is a function of price."

'Exploration for' perhaps. Price and tax breaks. 'Discovery'- nah.
Sorry, that's past biology combined with geology.

But don't worry. To quote the government's 2004 Energy White Paper:

"Despite increasing demand for oil, there are sufficient reserves to
supply world demand for around 40 years."
