Dear Scott,
	 I refer to your recent E mail and previous correspondence and I attach an amended submission. In case you are not aware of it the USA consumes 25% of the worlds oil consumption representing 37% of her energy needs. With growth in the worlds population over the next 50 years and the increase in energy requirements particularly in India and China there can only be one outcome without a broad based and detailed energy plan which everybody can follow. Even then there is no certainty. I have no intention of sacrificing my family so that some two bit politician can get their name into the history books and that superannuation they all crave for since the only persons a politician is concerned with is himself.

Sincerely

P A Sandilands

PS I am aware of the recent announcement of oil in russia. I engineered that with A Blairv which I can prove as J Howard gave me the gas distribution numbers.
However on a growth basis it will only increase reserves by about 15 years although I could be wrong. This will not be enough
