Hello TODers,
Copy of my email to Bloomberg at their Contact Us webpage:
---------------------------------------------------------------
I avidly watched your Simmons interview--I believe it has historic importance. Please email a copyright protected videocopy to TheOilDrum.com and EnergyBulletin.net so that we can use it for Peakoil Education.
I also suggest that if Matt Simmons is busy, the TopTODers are available for interviews on this issue. Their knowledge on this issue is unsurpassed and the charts and graphs are world-class. Thx you.

I suggest that everyone contact Bloomberg now. I want WT, Darwinian, RR, Dave Cohen, HO, Prof. Goose, Rembrandt, SS, Nate, Euan, Jerome, and Khebab, and anybody else I forgot to help backup Simmons before Yergin and Lynch get much airtime. Git 'er done!
To the TopTODers only,
I suggest you formulate a TOD press release to help cover Simmon's behind. I hope the various ASPOs are doing the same to support him because we just know that Yergin & CERA was on the phone to Bloomberg asking for rebuttal time.
In preparation for interviews: I suggest a uniform list of talking points so the TopTODers all come off as being on the same page with a 2005 to 2012 Peakoil Window due to hard to get data on KSA & Russia. But I will leave that decision up to your far greater expertise.
