Hey peak oil observers, just wanted to let you all know there is an interview with Matthew Simmons at Financial Sense Online. Mr. Simmons is the author of Twilight in the Desert and the guest expert for this weekend's FSN broadcast.
If anyone reading is unfamiliar with the "peak oil" thesis, you might want to listen in and see what the issue is all about.
Will Simmons and friends turn out to be correct in their warnings over crude oil's imminent production peak? Or will their dire prognostications be consigned to the dustin of history?
When I look at the situation, it seems like events have been unfolding in line with the trend towards hydrocarbon scarcity. Shall we wait to find out that we're running out of oil and natural gas or will we encourage innovation and change? Tell us what you think.

David,
It's definitely past the point to let solutions happen to us. The time to design our own futures is certainly upon us.
That's a stellar book BTW, "Twilight in the Desert". Very compelling.
Engineer,
Thanks for your comments. I think that the construction of a new, smarter energy and transportation infrastructure will be one of the main efforts we face over the coming decade. You can see that the issue of energy awareness is also starting to affect people's decisions on housing, transport, etc.
I finished Deffayes' latest book last year, but funny enough, never got through all of "Twilight". The good thing is that I'm very familiar with many of Simmons' main points having heard/read many of his speeches the past couple years.
For anyone wanting to catch up on the peak oil issue, the interviews available in this post will give a good intro. And search the archived FSN broadcasts; there are a few more such interviews besides
