What’s caviar got to do with peak oil?

The News collector (aka news feed aggregator) over on Transition Malvern has only been going for about a week, so its early to judge the balance of items coming in from the sources I’ve selected (and Transition Culture went on holiday just as I plugged it in). But there’s definitely some interesting stuff, and for once the American bias of some doesn’t get up my nose.

A post on ‘Peak Caviar‘ doesn’t sound very promising, but it has a nice little explanation of how the bell curve often used to illustrate peak oil could be too optimistic. By going all out , pushing production past its ‘natural’ peak can lead to a steeper decline.
