...three older brothers and when I was younger I wanted to do whatever they did. I watched them skate on the pond at night, and I really wanted to do it too so my dad cut down a stick...
...entrance?wide wooden stairs fronted by five flags. Proximity to the animals and scarcity of crowds in such a quiet, lush setting is what makes this zoo so special. Here, there are no food wrappers littering the ground or pennies in the Nile crocodile pond or throngs of people pushing and shoving to see orangutans. Once an old-fashioned collection of rickety cages, the zoo was modernized in 2001 to feature "tropical-forest" dwellings. These allow visitors to see the animals at all times, yet still provide spaces to which the 1,167 furred, feathered and scaled residents can retreat...

Finding oil is like fishing in a pond. After several months, you notice that you are not catching as many fish. You could buy an expensive fly rod--new technology. Or you could decide that you have already caught most of the fish in the pond. Although increased oil prices (which ought to spur investment in oil production) and new technology help, they can't work magic. Recent discoveries are modest at best. The oil sands in Canada and Venezuela are extensive, but the Canadian operations to convert the deposits into transportable oil consume large amounts of natural gas, which...
...technology cannot eliminate the difficulty Hubbert identified: the rate of producing oil depends on the fraction of oil that has not yet been produced. In other words, the fewer the fish in the pond, the harder it is to catch one. Peak production occurs at the halfway point. Based on the available data about new oil fields, there are 2,013 billion bbl. of total producible oil. Adding up the oil produced from the birth of the industry until today, we will reach the dreaded 1,006.5-billion-bbl. halfway mark late this year. For two years, I've been...
