Thanks Phil, one would hope the technology of extraction has moved on since 1938!

my point is that when that hypothetical economically viable price parity has been reached, oil prices will surely plateau for a very long time?
you might be pleased to read that i recently bought a pushbike (mountainbike) first pushy in 20 years, and boy have they progressed! hydraulic assisted dic brakes back and front, ect. ect. like floating on a cloud! just got to figure out how to avoid regular punctures, damn 3 corner jacks!
thats interesting stuff there too!! hope it happens!
funny thing is, our local fuel prices per litre have only just matched what i was paying in the UK nearly 20 years ago!

i know, i know they have great public transport and all close together ect. but not if you lived in the scottish countryside, which i did, and drove 70ks a day to work and back!
boy sure gotta feel sorry for the people who live in outer suburbs and nearby countryside, I can hear the house prices dropping from here!?
