And that Venezuela has gotten more stable. Certainly not what one would guess by reading popular accounts and looking at oil production trends. As you've noted, this index may still be a bit young , and perhaps too subjective. From a peak oil perspective, perhaps the list of variables should be extended to include peaking of production in highly oil dependent economies. Or, perhaps less oil centric, to include some variable attempting to measure relative economic concentration in one or only a few areas.Stukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00729167033124570823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235419263414453422.post-80891562080265228852010-01-25T10:03:50.264-08:002010-01-25T10:03:50.264-08:00Stuart, can I make a suggestion?

You could make a couple of them different line widths, a couple could use dashes or dots, one could be black, and then you'd only need a few distinct colors.Nick Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12721405349726668110noreply@blogger.com
