I see oil companies have fallen alot yesterday, i think it was sparked by a bp economist saying that the world is nowhere near peak oil and that demand will fall off because of global warming concerns. So why are all the environmentalists so pessimistic about peak oil but a bp economist so positive. Also he caused the price of oil stocks to fall. It seems to me that this is being orchestrated because big oil companies do not want oil prices rising too fast and also because they don't want a serious recession. They want oil prices to rise in a slow steady fashion, if they rise too fast they try and orchestrate a fall. It is also interesting that a bp economist made this comment and not a geologist, an economist can say what he likes as he is not speaking in his area of expertise so won't lose any status if his prediction turns out to be false
