Very interesting article from a Californian VC here “Hubbert’s Peak” about when the oil will run out.
Dr. Hubbert (in response to remarks by David Nissen – Exxon): “… [T]here is a different and more fundamental cost that is independent of the monetary price. That is the energy cost of exploration and production. So long as oil is used as a source of energy, when the energy cost of recovering a barrel of oil becomes greater than the energy content of the oil, production will cease no matter what the monetary price may be.” [referenced by Ivanhoe, 1982]
I remember reading about nuclear power stations requiring several years of their energy output just to build them. Wonder if it takes into accounts efficiency
The gmail spam filter is now working much better. Out of the 82 spam received in last 18 hours or so the filter correctly identified 73 of them. Seems strange that the filter works better after posting a reply on the extremetech forum herewere they were reviewing gmail.
Finally got blogger to generate a RSS feed from my website, secret given toi me on blogger forums was to put a forward slash at start and end of directory. Lets see if this pops up on my blogroll at Bloglines now.
