Thanks for the correction: it is indeed 20-30%.

That's OK - it's still a great deal of money, however and will, as I mentioned, be considerably greater again if advantage is taken of it by other major oil producers; if anything illustrates the folly of constantly delaying development of sustainable energy sources since the end of WWII, the deep political ramifications of oil distribution uncertainties does.

Calum....can you find ANY graphs which show GB Govt's attempts to become Sustainable in ANY way....

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

he chart shows the required adjustments in fiscal policy given the initial budgetary position and required adjustment given the long-term changes in ageing-related expenditure. The further along the horizontal axis countries are, the larger the required adjustment to stabilise the debt ratios given the initial budgetary position, and before considering the long-term costs of ageing. The higher up the vertical axis a country is, the greater the required adjustment due to ageing-related costs. The sustainability gap (SG) is the sum of the vertical and horizontal distances from each dot to the diagonal line.

yep we can string it along a highly favourable cross is about to appear!

Fans of technical analysis, take note.

A 'golden cross' appears imminent in the S&P 500. What this means the 50-day moving average crosses above the 200-day moving average. It's frequently seen as an auspicious trend.

Perhaps, but nowadays the subtle but considerable differences in structure and application between gut string theory and metal ditto would surely have first to be taken on board?

The IMF has just predicted that disruption to oil supplies could push fuel prices up by 30-40%.
