The transcript of this week's API conference call on gas prices is up:

There are some errors in the transcript, but I intend to pull out excerpts and post them in an essay. There were 3 TODers on the call - Alan, Chris Miller (dryki), and myself.

That's it. I'm burning all my Who albums.
Isn't it great that rock stars get more media attention on peak oil then the learned editors of TOD.

How much oil is is sequestered in old albums?

I agree with Mr. Daltrey, this is just more profiteering off of climate change hype. Al Gore "played" here at the local arena for $250k with a $200k sponsorship from my company and did a second "show" that night in Calgary. He flew in and out of Canada with 1/2 million in one day without smashing a single guitar.

I wasn't offended when the company I worked for sponsored the Rolling Stones to play here last summer, but Al upset me. The corporate sponsorship for the Rolling Stones for two shows brought a huge economic gain to the city. Al has nothing to say worth the $75 ticket and the last thing he needs is to be subsidized by Saskatchewan.

Roger Daltry is on the right track; if all the oil is burnt, then the economy of the elite will be in shambles--it's all about class. At least that's what I think he's getting at having listened and wacthed The Who closely over their career

"I don't care about pollution
I'm an air-conditioned gypsy
that's my solution
watch the police and the tax man miss me"

"I don't wanna cause no fuss
but can I buy your magic bus?

I want it
I want it
I want it
I want it
... you CAN'T have it!"
