Jeff Rubin - the former chief economist at CIBC World Markets - has always struck me as someone who "gets it." I have seen him do a number of interviews, both on television and in print - and he consistently sounds the alarm on peak oil. He understands very well that cheap oil is the lifeblood of the global economy, yet this is an era that will soon come to an end. His new book - Why Your World Is About to Get a Whole Lot Smaller: Oil and the End of Globalization

Jeff Rubin, Chief Economist at CIBC World Markets, in a recent report, is now saying that the current recession is caused by high oil prices. Defaulting mortgages are only a symptom of the high oil prices. We should be blaming the underlying cause--higher oil prices--rather than the symptom. These higher oil prices caused Japan and the Eurozone to enter into a recession even before the most recent financial problems hit. Higher oil prices started four of the last five world recessions; we shouldn't be too surprised if they started this one also.

Oil suppliers are tightening taps says Jeff Rubin, CIBC World Markets chief economist, because they're using more and more themselves. (Oct 2, CNBC, 5 min, hat tip to Energy Bulletin, Moral Equivalent of War, and Graphoilology). If you're interested in more from Rubin, check out his slides entitled "OPEC's Call on Itself" here (pdf warning).
It all sounds like what Jeffrey Brown has been saying regarding his Export Land Model. Good on you Jeff.
T. Boone Pickens shares his outlook on oil. (Sept 19, CNBC, 5 min)
