Recently saw in a piece in Alternet:
( http://www.alternet.org/story.html?StoryID=11692)

> Geologists estimate that sitting beneath the wind-blown steppes of Kazakhstan are 50 billion barrels of oil -- by far the biggest untapped reserves in the world. (Saudi Arabia, currently the world's largest oil producer, is believed to have about 30 billion barrels remaining.) 

Apparently, to be able to sell it, the only feasible pipeline route is
through Afghanistan. Yes, it's still about the oil.

Roger, a question for enquiring minds: Do the Hubbert's Peak predictions
(Deffeyes et al) already take the Khazakh reserves into account, or is
this something new?
