So I clicked on the View Active Topics button and in a list of 50 active topics only 4 were in the peak oil category. No surprise really since most po members are overweight middle-age men fantasizing about being rambo or mad max.

But I figured I would bring this to everyone's attention since I am going to watch it next week. Matt Simmons: The Status Of The Oil & Gas Industry Costs: $100 (in my opinion is a small amout to be able to profit or prepare)

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', ' ')Overview: Renowned energy expert Matt Simmons will discuss the sobering state of the oil and gas industry—from the natural gas glut to the Obama Administration’s energy policy and the growing talent vacuum—in a special Oil and Gas Investor presentation on Thursday, April 30, 10 a.m. CDT, of his remarks at the “Strategies for High Performance in Volatile Times” conference.

A few of Simmons’ comments in this 50-minute webinar include:

-- “The gas glut is a joke; it’s not real…What a tragedy to destroy our most valuable natural resource—because of bad data.”

-- “It is alarming to see 100% of the focus (in Washington) on climate change and none on supply.”

-- “Some 15% (of oilfield workers) are young and untrained, and 85% are within a few years of retirement. That’s not Houston or Dubai—that’s worldwide.”

-- “The EIA supply model is fantasy land. We are now in the process of destroying the U.S. gas industry.”

-- “What is a fair price for oil? … I think $150 was too low.”

Mr. Simmons, who founded oilfield investment-banking firm Simmons and Company International, also touches on ethanol, wind power, the rusting of energy infrastructure, industry layoffs, college recruiting, Kazakhstan’s Kashagan Field and much more.

All registrants will receive a complimentary copy of Hart’s VISION 2009: Global Energy Outlook special report – a $99 value.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', 'A')ctually AAA it seems pretty interesting. Especially to an old man who can't even imagine what a webinar is. Is that virtual bbq?

[OutOfGas]

He has most of his presentations on his web site. The data is brutally clear. What is so scarry is that most people do not have a clu about energy. Most Americans think they have a right to cheap gasoline.

My wifes father recently told me that the US had all of the oil it needed in Montana, but that the Oil Companies had the wells capped, until the price came up. He believes this.

You expect to get something for the $100 that you don't get from his free slides and interviews on sites like financialsense? If there is anything new, I am sure it will be posted on sites afterwards by other people anyway so it only gives you 24hr headway to us cheapskates.

I'd watch it but I just polished off a large meat lovers pizza and a couple Dr. Peppers. I'm just going to lie down and watch Red Dawn again.

Red Dawn, cool flick! Huh, they're working on a remake:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'E')llsworth has said “The tone is going to be very intense, very much keeping in mind the post-9/11 world that we’re in,” says Ellsworth, who was 11 when the original was released. “As ‘Red Dawn’ scared the heck out of people in 1984, we feel that the world is kind of already filled with a lot of paranoia and unease, so why not scare the hell out of people again?

[copious.abundance]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', 'H')e is absolutely right. $70 during a recession when $40 is a medium is a price shock.

you loose.
