As a long-time world energy markets analyst (for the U.S. Energy Information Administration), I usually brace myself for a stream of inaccuracy and idiocy whenever I see or hear an oil story on TV (god help us), radio (not much better), or a corporate newspaper (usually riddled with inaccuracies, misstatements, etc.). Which is why I was pleasantly surprised this morning as I read an accurate, intelligent, well-written oil article in the Washington Post.
UPDATE: By the way, the Post article today turns out to be the first in what will be a series on oil. Sure beats their 12-part infotainment series on Chandra Levy!
UPDATE #2: I just noticed this excellent article on energy efficiency by Joseph Romm. "The limitless resource" - that pretty much covers it. Energy efficiency IS the answer.
