Something historic happened the other day, and it went pretty much unreported. The price of oil reached $102.59. The previous record (adjusted for inflation) had been $102.53 which was set in 1980.

Uninvited observations
I understand that the Association for the Study of Peak Oil & Gas (ASPO) will not always be invited to speak at CERA Week (Cambridge Energy Research Associates annual conference in Houston), but if I had been invited I could have discussed the CERA 2006 forecast of future oil production.
Revisiting “The End of Cheap Oil”
Prior to writing the article “The End of Cheap Oil” for the March 1998 issue of Scientific American magazine, Colin Campbell and I wrote four important oil and gas studies totaling about 1350 pages. After publication, our article was chosen as one out of 25 stories in the book Censored 1998, published by Sonoma State University.
Review: World Made by Hand by James Kunstler
The novel presents a fictional world that is at once idyllic and post-apocalyptic, reassuring and frightening.
