A Little Holiday Reading.
Before I disappear for a week, I thought I would leave you with three of the best articles I have recently read, that might keep you informed and entertained next week. They offer the best updates of the peak oil case I have recently read. One is a piece by Michael Klare, called [Entering the Tough Oil Era: The New Energy Pessimism](http://www.tomdispatch.com/post/174829), which sets peak oil in the context of global geopolitics, and the second is Richard Heinberg’s latest Museletter, entitled [The View from Oil's Peak](http://www.richardheinberg.com/museletter/184), which updates and sets out the peak oil case compellingly and succinctly. The third is by Gail E. Tverberg, and is the [first chapter](http://gailtheactuary.wordpress.com/2007/07/16/what-is-peak-oil/) (you can also read Chapters [2](http://gailtheactuary.wordpress.com/2007/07/16/is-this-a-false-alarm/) and [3](http://gailtheactuary.wordpress.com/) of a book she is writing on the subject, which offers a clear and succinct summary of the peak oil argument.
