Whoops! Another utopian idea reinforced....

My clues that it's nothing to pop champagne corks over just yet, from
the article referenced:

1. "may have discovered..."

2. "did not provide any details about... his information, except to say
it came from "nonofficial, non-confirmed sources."

3. "Oil prices were unaffected by the news."

It could be confirmed, but so far the leading indicators, as economists
like to say, don't look very fired up about the claim.

I'd applaud as warmly as any if we found a humongous source of new
energy, though it sure would be nice if we weren't arguing over cleaner
sources not being worth developing. That's just giving a free ride to
oil-baron press releases.
