It would seem our oil supplies are not as big as we have been led to believe.

Thanks for posting, I saw this headline in yesterday's papers review (on BBCs Newsnight?) but I couldn't remember which paper ran it this morning. Nobody else seems very interested in responding? I wonder whether that's because this is becoming a broadly accepted 'truth' within this community, or perhaps people are becoming over-loaded with the sheer volume of bad news hitting the wires lately.

It surely adds more poignancy to the recent ATS post re: the real motivation for Allied presence in Afghanistan being the securing of the route of the a forthcoming (Turkmenistan>India?) oil pipeline?

Sorry but this really makes me worry about the food supply connotations...

This has also been reported in a Swiss Newspaper. Watch for oil price to go up as this news spreads.
I hope, this turn of events promotes alternative energy and fuel, but I fear it will lead more war and suffering.
