Ah, the great fuel shock of 2011

Col. Chin of the U.N. Relief Mission asked me to write about America and the great oil shock. He finds this period of history fascinating. He’s only 27 and on loan from the Chinese army, so it’s not as if he lived through it. As an old man, I have another advantage: I’m one of the few Americans who still can write.

Open letter to Daniel Yergin on optimism and addressing Peak Oil seriously

Clyde Simkins, Energy Bulletin

In the interview of Daniel Yergin by Tom Ashbrook, on Point Radio, one of the giants of the opposition to the Peak Oil theory stood forward.
Only after listening to the interview, I got the feeling that not only did he not understand the theory, it’s premises, or even its full assertions and facts, but that he hadn’t really given it enough gravity to even study it. Perhaps he “wiki’d” it. Further, I got the feeling that he was run on high octane optimism mixed with a small amount of BS.
