Petroleum for Breakfast, or the "Saudi Arabian breakfast"



* Breakfast = crude oil, how charming. Yet true. A very insightful piece from "Sir" Engelhardt up at the excellent Tom Dispatch news site.

When you think of your daily cup of coffee: it required the energetic equivalent of filling my (small) Tokyo office with pure natural gas and exhausting all of it before a 500g pack of coffee could materialise on your shelf... Definitely makes you think twice about a whole lot of things. See the fossil fuel story here, or stay fossilized.
