Don't worry, Peak Oil will come back, and sooner than later if we

study the chart on this page-

Consider what that chart means. A 90% decline in dry commodity
shipping costs since May of this year.

This is a VERY interesting graph. Planning must be a nightmare.

Logistics/goods distribution is a fascinating field. And it's
a venerable field, hearkening back in time even beyond the
Silk Road caravans, the ancient Roman iters and the marine
inter-continental quests for precious spices. There's been
plenty of time to figure things out.

There's also been plenty of time for office-bound bean-counters
and pencil-pushers to royally screw things up.

IT, MIS and all those other acronym'd electronic technologies are
modeled after logistics, except they deal with distribution of
data and information instead of tangible commodities.

I foresee high-tech sailing/hybrid transoceanic freighter ships
in the near future.


cheers, & throughput & turnover,
