But Wait, There's More High-tech extraction methods are delaying the peak of world oil production Remember the predictions that the world was at or near the peak of oil production? Sigh with us now, for industry is using high-tech methods to suck oil from wells once considered tapped out.

Where Credit is Due Democrats take control of U.S. Congress, vow energy-fund reallocation		04 Jan 2007	Daily Grist
Where Credit is Due Democrats take control of U.S. Congress, vow energy-fund reallocation Here at Grist, we're advocates of multipartisan cooperation and fans of progress, no matter what its origins. But as the Democratic-led, greener-seeming Congress takes over today, we'd like to allow ourselves a whoop. Whoop! One of the Dems' top priorities is an energy package that will stick it to Big Oil. By repealing oil ...

Greasing Their Alms On oil subsidies	Umbra Fisk	03 Aug 2005	Ask Umbra
Dear Umbra, Grist keeps mentioning that the U.S. government gives large subsidies to oil companies, but doesn't go further into what these subsidies are.
