World Energy Television Presents: Energy Crisis, A Discussion with Matt
Simmons
Amidst skyrocketing oil prices, considerable financial
activity in the oil market, and increased gas prices, producing and consuming
nations alike are concerned about efficiency and supply. World
Energy Teelvision recently spent an afternoon with Matthew Simmons, president of the energy
investment firm Simmons & Company International and author of Twilight
in the Desert: The Coming Saudi Oil Shock and the World Economy, to hear his perspective
on oil supplies, pump prices, distributed generation and a return to post–World
War II practices.
Oil prices have been too low for too long, he says. “The problem
isn’t that the prices are going up, it is that they have been so
low for so long that we have been caught in a correction,” explains
Simmons.
The problem, notes Simmons, is not strategy; it is having
a game plan for execution. In the interview, Simmons focuses beyond “peak oil” and
looks at the immediate nature of the energy situation, examining both near-term
solutions and long-term ones.
Focusing on renewable sources, Simmons points out the current production
from these sources is roughly 1.50 percent, but that 1.50 percent is nonetheless
a significant contribution. He then explains the actual potential to be
unlocked in energy produced from wind and geothermal and the importance
of distributed generation.
