Glenn asked: "Do you have a reference to that?"
Sorry -- I don't. At the time I saw it I was not looking for that sort of
material. It did remind me that I had been to a seminar on energy back about
1982 or so -- the same outlook was asserted.
But the gentleman MAY have been talking about only the US. Or maybe only
about Atlantic Richfield suppliers. So, in retrospect, my off hand comment
was not at all useful. Apologies.
Fascinating subject, this. Technology has certainly gotten us all into a
pickle and all we seem to be able to think of to get us out of the pickle is
more technology.
Cheers.
