the CIA estimates, (at least this is what they’re telling us), that by 2015 - only one-tenth of Persian Gulf oil will be directed to Western markets; three-quarters will go to Asia. and that - global energy markets will have coalesced into two quasi-hemispheric patterns. Asia's energy needs will be met either through coal from the region or from oil and gas supplies from the Persian Gulf, Central Asia, and Russia. Western Europe and the Western Hemisphere will draw on the Atlantic Basin for their energy sources at world prices.

In December last year the CIA published an impressive report called Global Trends 2015: A Dialogue About the Future With Nongovernment Experts.

It is long, but touches on many of the issues being discussed here. Folks that haven’t already seen it may find it to be a very interesting read.

Cobalt btw, what are you talking about re the !Kong. Did you make up that name? The people of the Kalahari refer to themselves as the SAN or KHOI-SAN. Bushmen is a derogatory term created by European Imperialists and Racists. Your slip is showing.
