BTW, a personal note regarding Mr. Pickens and the HL method. At my request, he underwrote part of the cost of the Simmons/Kunstler symposium on 11/1/05, and at the symposium I gave him some of our preliminary Hubbert Linearization (HL) work. His assistant called me the next morning at 8:00 A.M. and said that Mr. Pickens wanted to know if I could come by and brief his staff on the technique. (As I have previously described, this is the event where my daughter and son-in-law turned down the chance to meet Matt Simmons, Jim Kunstler and Boone Pickens.)

Kids ;-)
Well Jeffery it took awhile but your views are catching the big wave - I hope you benefit someway.

Hi Jeffrey,

Glad you're using your connections for the benefit of humanity. I hope you can sponsor more events like the symposium. (And perhaps next time "the kids" will jump in - if not, I bet I know some people who would be happy to fill in.)
