The UK relies on the IEA which relies on the USGS. The USGS has produced figures which are produced with all the possible optimistic methodologies. The USGS estimates 1,000 bn barrells of oil greater than most other people.

Still it is quite a nice wolf.

We also have the issue of the government changing their real strategy to one which is based upon the UK national debt being relatively low so we might as well pile on the pounds.

Lots of research into this has happened over the years and now I think it is clear why this is. It raises some interesting questions. Biological youth is about how well a cell functions. Cells that are old in a biological sense don't work that well. One of the ways in which cells stop working is they fail to produce the full range of proteins. Generally the proteins that are produced from longer genes stop being produced. The reason for this relates to how the Genes work (the Genome). Because the genome is not gettin...
