I like it.  But the text link should be Daniel Yergin.  Who's going to search on Daniel Yergin Day?

Westexas can write the essay, to be posted here or at EnergyBulletin, and we can link to it.

I'll go with whatever Westextas likes, but for what it's worth, I think you've got to use a search key that is manipulable in an true goggle bomb.

"Results 1 - 10 of about 47 for danial yergin day. (0.54 seconds)"

Since "daniel yergin day" only has 47 results, I think it can be leveraged.

I don't think there's any need for a Google bomb for Daniel Yergin Day.  It would probably pop to the top of the listings using Google's normal algorithm.

Shoot, that's only 47 with my bad typing.  I'm embarassed, I'll go away now.

You actually almost had a great freudian slip/typo.  Maybe we should call it Denial Yergin Day.  But it wouldn't get any hits (although how common is any search for Yergin?).

I'll guess I write something along the lines of Heinberg's open letter to Greg Palast.  

It looks like Dan is safe today.  The EIA natural gas report seems to be pulling down oil prices somewhat.  

Don't forget CERA's testimony in front of a congressional committee in December, 2005, to the effect that they don't believe that we are near the peak.  I thought that the timing was interesting--exactly when Deffeyes was predicting that we crossed the 50% of Qt mark.
