Peak Oil as a Function of Earth's Volume

Poor article dressed in statistics. The author should subtract from his calculations the entire surface area of the continental U.S. because it has already been scoured. There is nothing left to find. The same could be said for Europe and certain other small and/or developed countries.

$300/Barrel Oil Is Coming - Barron's Interview

Hey Ricard, while this column may not have addressed natural oil in depth, the interview in Barron's did. Maxwell does not believe natural gas can replace oil on a large scale for purposes of transportation. I agree.

Forget $100 a Barrel - Oil Will Plummet to $30

While I am not trying to proselytize, the author might want to read Twilight in the Desert to get a little perspective. All of his proposed fixes won't come soon enough if Matt Simmons is even half correct. Also, the idea that, somehow, after 30 years or more of inaction that Congress is going to put together a coherent energy plan (in the space of a year or two) and that a handful of fuel cells are going to save us is patently ridiculous. Further, nuclear energy doesn't power cars.
