The availability of oil worldwide has already peaked, the European Union's energy chief Guenther Oettinger said on Wednesday.

The amount of oil available globally, I think, has already peaked," Oettinger told a news briefing in Brussels


IEA World Energy Outlook 2010: Questionable
Assumptions And Major Omissions
By Gail Tverberg

http://www.countercurrents.org/tverberg121110.htm

The World Energy Outlook 2010 makes quite a number of assumptions that seem wrong, and omits important ideas. Here are a few that Oil Drum staff members have mentioned. You may have others you think should be added to the list


Veterans Day! Long Live Violent Death! WMD!
And Rule By Investment Bankers!
By Jay Janson

http://www.countercurrents.org/janson121110.htm

Disappointment not to have seen or heard of some flying contingent of brave tough members of Veterans of Peace or a Howard Zinn peace activist brigade tussling with pro-war veterans and military officers, seeking to disrupt the praise of war. American acceptance of horrific implications of what is preached on Veterans Day


Take A Stand For Peace

A New American Revolution
By Timothy V. Gatto

http://www.countercurrents.org/gatto121110.htm

Revolution is one of those words that capture attention. When people think of revolution the War of Independence or the French Revolution come to mind. Revolution needn't be that extreme, however, revolution is what is needed in what has become the most repressive and militarily expansive government on the face of the planet. The government I'm talking about isn't Iran or North Korea, its The United States of America


The Fight To Save Social Security Begins Now
By Shamus Cooke

With national elections barely over, Republicans and Democrats unveiled their real political agenda, in the form of Obama's Deficit Reduction Commission. The bi-partisan commission has a nightmare vision for working people that, if implemented, will remold American society to mirror the current ruler of U.S. politics -- the corporations and wealthy


Obama Team's Deficit Cutting Proposal:
Benefit The Few, Harm The Many
By Stephen Lendman

http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman121110.htm

If approved, in whole or in part, proposed changes will become effective in 2012. Deficit hawks want it accomplished before the 112th Congress convenes in January. Public anger is needed to stop it, a thinly veiled scheme to take from the many for the few, the administration very supportive

A Movement Visible From Outer Space
By Bill McKibben

http://www.countercurrents.org/mckibben121110.htm

Next month's UN Climate talks in Cancun promise more disappointment--politicians around the world are already lowering expectations and backing away from commitments. In the days leading up to that conference, though, the world will see a new kind of spectacle: the first planet-scale group art show. We're calling it 350 EARTH, and it will feature art so big you'll need to back all the way up to outer space for a proper view


A Loud London Day
By Farooque Chowdhury

http://www.countercurrents.org/chowdhury121110.htm

Student activism and politics in the United Kingdom, both at national level, have shown their close connection. Both, moored in economy, are acting with each other, and pronouncing aloud old questions related to politics, citizens' rights, state's role, and education

Anguish of Kashmiri People: Are We Listening?
By Ram Puniyani

http://www.countercurrents.org/puniyani121110.htm

Layers of democracy, within the state need to be strived for and people's voices of dissent need to be listened carefully rather than insulted and blindly opposed without understanding the logic of their statements and suffering of the people of Kashmir


The Myths That Kept The MFIs Afloat
By Devinder Sharma

http://www.countercurrents.org/dsharma121110.htm

Microfinance is under attack. Even the normally reticent pink newspapers have now begun to bring out the inherent flaws in the microfinance model. While Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee and the Reserve Bank of India governor Mr D Subbarao refuse to take notice, public outcry against the criminal micro-credit system that has actually grown with state support, is building up


The Disadvantage of Being Strategic
Partner of The US
By Mustafa Khan

http://www.countercurrents.org/mkhan121110.htm

As far as the bilateral relationship between India and the US is concerned there is an élan as observed at occasions like the recent Obama visit. The most important issue of the day is terrorism.
