	Peak oil - May 15 \| EnergyBulletin.net \| Peak Oil News Clearinghouse

		The political development, where oil has become a weapon for internal political struggles, a weapon or bargaining chip against other countries, and finally where oil consuming countries, outside of the international oil market try to strengthen their control over the flow of oil, constitute an evident threat against the supply within mainly the OECD area.
		The collected assessment of the authority is that in a national perspective both the global climate and supply disturbances from political causes is reason enough to lower our dependence on oil, in spite of if the risk for a physical shortage of oil is small or not during the foreseeable future.

	H-Net Review: David Quigley on The Triumph of Ethnic Progressivism: Urban Political Culture in ...
		Connolly grounds his retelling of urban political history upon an intensive exploration of the metropolitan press, a theoretically sophisticated analysis of voting patterns, and a critical engagement with a number of historiographical debates.
