Our appetite for oil (2% of reserves held by us, 20% of world consumption) and our reluctance to adopt even lifestyles as energy intensive as our neighbours across the Atlantic means that oil companies are drilling in increasingly risky ways. Sure they are not yet being transparent about the additional risks. Do we have to wait for them to be until taking action to reduce our energy consumption?Simon Bishophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06104517064538260004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-84929347458623277072010-06-21T21:27:49.325-07:002010-06-21T21:27:49.325-07:00The article is fairly accurate ; however, it does...The article is fairly accurate ; however, it doesn't add in the most important part: 40% by volume is methane gas.
