I'll just point out that it's not just George Monbiot of the Guardian who has been highlighting this issue in the UK, but the Independent's article by Daniel Howden on June 14, 2007 was a relatively early mainstream exposition - one that was then picked up by MoneyWeek magazine. Furthermore, some very revealing comments were made by Thierry Desmarest of Total and Tony Hayward of BP in a roundtable discussion at the World Economic Forum at Davos just last month - Desmarest stated that Total's view now is that it will be "very difficult" to raise world oil production over 95 million bpd, whilst Hayward pointed out that over the next 20 years the oil industry has to bring on stream new capacity of 50 million bpd, or "four times what Saudi Arabia is producing today" - to use his words...
