The ULTIMATE REPORT(A MUST READ) There is a white paper on the state of world oil written by Matthew R. Simmons post on the oil price page at the bullboards main page that should be a manditory read for all Government Hacks and anyone who has a cent invested in the tech world. I'll try to post the site but if this tech dummy can't succeed please take the time to read it on the above mentioned board from the main menuof the bullboards page. It is the best article I've read on oil and gas supply potential/problems since the article in Scientific American Mar 98 .
