Article du Guardian : "The peak oil brigade is leading us into bad policymaking on energy"

The Earth's crust is riddled with fossil fuels. The issue is not whether there is a shortage of the stuff, but the costs of getting it out. Until recently, the sheer abundance of low-cost conventional oil in places like the Middle East has limited the incentives to find more, and in particular to go after unconventional sources. But technical change has been driven by necessity – and the revolution in shale gas (and now shale oil, too) has already been transformational in the US, one of the world's biggest energy markets.

On se demande pourquoi le Guardian publie ce genre de truc, par contre les commentaires dans l'ensemble plutôt "rassurant" (enfin disons reflétant conscience du problème)
