If anyone knows someone who could help out this reporter - please contact him. This was passed to me by someone else. He's one of the San Francisco Chronicle's main reporters on the subject. As with all reporting - the sooner the better. -robin ****** I'm looking for people who have tried to figure out how much oil goes into the production and distribution of various household items and types of food. For example, has anyone looked at how much oil goes into bringing a typical bottle of Australian wine to a U.S. supermarket, both in terms of growing the grapes and making the wine, as well as hauling the wine to port and shipping it across the ocean? How about a shirt made in India and sold in the U.S.? Or an iPod? As the Chronicle's energy reporter, I often write about how oil price increases can raise the price of almost everything over time, due to production or transportation costs. I'd love to find someone who can help illustrate this by showing precisely how much oil goes into different products. Contact: David Baker, [log in to unmask] ****
