“Looking at the world as a whole we see this growing deficit (of oil). Discovery peaked in the 1960s with a 60Gb surplus. But this has given way to a deficit of almost 20Gb. We now find one barrel for every four we consume… The bottom line is there is a rounded one trillion barrels left to produce”

“We should seek to reduce our vulnerability to a serious shortage of fossil-derived fuels, both oil and gas. Production of biofuels would achieve this – supplies coming from the earth’s current energy account rather than its capital account.”
