Check it out. Should be nothing new to energy buffs, heck, I learned this fashizzle in a intro level geology course on earth resources. But for those of you who think nothing of filling up your pimped out Ford Excursion to drive to your job 3 miles down the road at the mall, then this is the article for you.
Make SURE to check out the corporate website of Matthew Simmons, a Houston energy analyst and banker at Simmons & Co. International.
Wanna pull a lefty and cry "corporate propagandist whore"? Think again. This guy is
"...no anti-establishment crank. In addition to his role as chief executive of a major energy-focused investment bank, which counts Halliburton and the World Bank among its clients, he’s a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and was an advisor to President Bush’s election campaign and Vice President Dick Cheney’s infamous energy task force" (Markman).Give it a whirl. You'll find no spin there. ::drum roll:: This is serious analysis here, kids. Kinda makes you wonder where the heck outfits like Kerr-McGee are finding their black gold, right? I mean, because they have a suuuuper environmental record.
Enjoy. :P
