Relentless. Here’s the reason, in crystal clear Norwegian: Verdens forsyning av råolje og kondensat var 0,265 Mb/d lavere for hele 2007 relativt 2006. For 2006 viser dataene at forsyningen var 0,268 Mb/d lavere enn i 2005. Siden 2005 er altså den globale forsyningen av råolje og kondensat redusert med 0,53 Mb/d.

Wednesday, April 30, 2008

… ei ole neuvoteltavissa: Amerikkalainen kuoronjohtaja on ottanut järeät keinot käyttöön, jotta bensiinin hinta saataisiin laskuun. Washingtonilainen Rocky Twyman saapui viime viikonloppuna San Franciscoon, missä hän järjesti rukoustilaisuuden huoltoasemalla.

Vertailun vuoksi

Tuesday, January 22, 2008
