Probably but I"m lazy. A quick google search should do the trick for you. In lieu of that, there's a decent interview with Brian Schwartz here (more peak oil related): http://www.takepart.com/news/2010/01/14/peak-oil-interview-with-brian-schwartz- You can read http://theoildrum.com or you could read the tea leaves if you'd like: * Warren Buffet is buying up rail (which only becomes Buffet-profitable in a liquid fuels crisis) and he spent $26 billion which is his largest investment ever. That's a pretty big bet on a tired old business unless you thought a liquid fuels crisis was coming. (not only is rail much more efficient, it can be easily electrified) * T. Boone Pickins is buying up water and natural gas (and he's an oil man) * Exxon just bought XTO, a natural gas expert and it was their largest acquisition since Mobil http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&sid=awkU5EFr06cU http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703438404574598374176991450.html * UPS and FedEx are building fleets of natural gas and electric, respectively http://blogs.wsj.com/environmentalcapital/2009/01/09/gas-fight-t-boone-pickens-and-fedex-square-off/ and you can hear about the peak oil here: Maxwell Says Global Oil Production to Peak Around 2015: Audio Dec. 17 (Bloomberg) -- Charles Maxwell, an analyst at Weeden & Co., talks with Bloomberg's Tom Keene about his forecast for oil prices, global energy demand, production quotas for the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and alternative energy. http://media.bloomberg.com/bb/avfile/Economics/On_Economy/vlQPaHAQPcAY.mp3 also here's a nice movie review: http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20091209/REVIEWS/912099993 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
