Horseless evolution

IT HAS BEEN a bad couple of years for those hoping for the death of driving. In America, where cars are an important part of the national psyche, a decade ago people had suddenly started to drive less, which had not happened since the oil shocks of the 1970s. Academics started to talk excitedly about “peak driving”, offering explanations such as urbanisation, ageing baby-boomers, car-shy millennials, ride-sharing apps such as Uber and even the distraction of Facebook.

STEWART SPENCE WAS a young hotelier in Aberdeen in 1971 when he first realised what an oil rush meant. His hotel, the Commodore, was the only one in the Scottish city with en-suite bathrooms. One day an American oil executive strode in, wearing denims, cowboy boots and a stetson. Once assured that the bedrooms had private facilities, he booked 20 rooms for six months and paid upfront by banker’s draft. The American, boss of an oil-services company called Global Marine, was ferrying three oil rigs from the Gulf of Mexico to Aberdeen. Читать дальше...

Better than cow dung

HYDROCARBONS CAN STILL make the heart race—especially if you are short of them. That is evident under a sweltering midday sun on the outskirts of Noida, an Indian boomtown adjacent to New Delhi, where hundreds of poor women, clad in bright saris, recently gathered for a celebration. They were marking what Narendra Modi’s government hopes will be the beginning of the end for an age-old poverty trap: collecting firewood and cow dung for cooking.

The women say they... Читать дальше...

IN SEPTEMBER 2015, at a candlelit dinner at Lloyd’s of London, Mark Carney, the governor of the Bank of England, addressed the insurance industry on climate change. He gave warning in advance that there would be no jokes. Then he dropped a bombshell on the oil industry.

DON HILLEBRAND, AN American motor-industry veteran, has an intriguing job. In a warehouse at the secure Argonne National Laboratory, which arose from the University of Chicago’s work on the Manhattan Project, he scrutinises foreign-made cars, trucks and lithium-ion batteries to discover their technological secrets and share them with his employer, the Department of Energy, and its friends in the Big Three car companies.

Putting the wind up oil

SOME CALL IT “Texarabia”. In Midland, West Texas, every bare 40-acre plot of land appears to have a pumping unit on it, drawing oil from the shale beds of the Permian Basin up to 12,000 feet (3,700 metres) below. One is toiling away in the car park of the West Texas Drillers, the local football team. The Permian Basin Petroleum Museum, on the edge of town, has an exhibition of antique “nodding donkeys” dating back to the 1930s. In a lot behind them a working one is gently rising and falling.

MAY 25th was an auspicious day for Jia Jinglong. It was his birthday by the lunar calendar, and in 2013 it was also the date of his forthcoming wedding to Li Lanlan. They had been going out for four years, a long time; but he was a shy boy, who had not wanted to go to college and didn’t read or write much, and who would blush whenever he spoke to a girl.

Turkish politics

“Turkey locks up dissidents” (November 12th) seriously understates the extent of the problem Turkey faces from the Gulenist terror organisation, FETO. This has been a recurring theme in European media, which perhaps also reflects why Turkey’s NATO allies were so slow to show their support for us during this year’s attempted coup.

Investigators have demonstrated that FETO’s political objective is to destabilise the Turkish republic and that it possesses the command structure... Читать дальше...
