Blogging Break

No posts lately. I've been sick; kids have been sick, and we have plans this weekend. Hopefully I can resume next week.

I'll fill the gap with a few links. For better or for worse, the Internet makes my blog completely irrelevant because every time I think of something to say, I can find where someone else has already said it, only better.

I find the whole peak oil debate between "the economists" and "the geologists" to be very interesting, and need to ponder it some more. Here are a few interesting articles from Econbrowser laying out some of the case of the economists.

On why the concept of "demand is rising faster than supply" is suspect: http://www.econbrowser.com/archives/2005/08/limitations_of.html.

On why oil prices are not expected to rise dramatically in the next few years: http://www.econbrowser.com/archives/2005/07/how_to_talk_to.html.

On why the economists might want to pay at least some attention: http://www.econbrowser.com/archives/2005/08/peak_oil_for_sk.html.

The comments sections on the post can also be enlightening.
