A Matt Simmons phone interview on CNBC, in which Matt sounds a very loud and certain clarion call about our direction--calling it (potentially) "The Great American Disaster." I think it is safe to say that Matt has gotten pretty pessimistic, even doomerish lately.

Under the fold, more from Richard Heinberg with a great review of accelerating events, Phil Hart talks peak oil on Aussie TV, KrisCan interviews Andre Angelantoni about post-peak life, and David Bell of ASPO-Oz appears on Bloomberg.

Richard Heinberg, author of “Peak Everything”, reviews the accelerating events since mid-2007 with Janaia Donaldson of Peak Moment Television, including the credit crunch and fossil fuel price volatility, noting that we’ve missed most of the best opportunities to manage collapse.

An interview with TOD's own Phil Hart on ABC Stateline TV in Victoria (Australia).

KrisCan speaks with Andre Angelantoni (you might recognize him as aangel!) at San Francisco's hybrid and electric car service Luscious Garage where they chat about how to prepare for life after Peak Oil. (2 parts)

David Bell, convenor at the Australian Association for the Study of Peak Oil and Gas, talks with Bloomberg's Bernard Lo from Sydney about the outlook for crude oil supply and demand, and the impact of rising prices on business.

Finally here's a link to a World Energy Television (an energy industry site, I think) has a long interview with Matt Simmons: http://www.worldenergysource.com/wetv/energycrisis/. It's not embeddable, so you have to slog over there yourself.
