Belgium has real problems, muslims make up a huge proportion of Brussels population. There is even talk of splitting Belgium between France and Holland.

That split has been been a long standing issue. How the muslim population will factor into that cultural split is an interesting question.

Edit: Are we sure this was Belgium and not Bulgaria?

Just noted this..

Except that was in Bulgaria, not Belgium. Unless Belgium has started using the cyrillic alphabet.

$20 trillion shale oil find surrounding Coober Pedy 'can fuel Australia'

Wow....shale oil and gas technology is uncovering some amazing new resources.

Saudi Australia ?

I think "value" has to be taken with a handful of salt.

Is it worth 20 trillion when the price of oil is $40 or $100 or $200?

Still, LNC was up 9% yesterday.

I hold BPT and might get in on Santos, they are all doing stuff in that area. My view only. I could be wrong (and possibly am).
 

QUEENSLAND has been floating on oil shale since late 1970's.
Greenvale asx:GRV, Esperance asx:ESM, and East Coast asx:ECM had shares in the "Alpha" field.
Greenies would not allow refining in Australia. Apparently it was a polluting process.

I find this fascinating.

Driverless Cars.

Google has been working on this project for a number of years (since 2005).

Self-Driving Car Test: Steve Mahan - 95% blind



Wiki on Google driverless cars - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_driverless_car

And interestingly - only 2 accidents during this trial, and both of them were caused by humans.


3 states in the USA now allow driverless cars - Nevada, Florida and California (Sep 2012). Hawaii is also preparing laws for driverless cars.

Toyota and Audi are bringing out driverless cars and unveiled them at last weeks CES show in Vegas.

Huge advances in technology.
