A Review Of Matt Simmons "Twilight In The Desert" Peak Oil Book

"Twilight In The Desert" is a thought provoking book by energy expert Matthew Simmons. Simmons has advised presidents, including the current one, on energy policy and he believes that the ability of Saudi Arabian oil fields such as the massive Gwahar field are overrated. The premise of his book is that Peak Oil is upon us, much faster than some experts have predicted because the Saudi Royal Family has been hiding the true reserves of the kingdom to help keep confidence in their rule and maintain stability. In his book he produces figures from reliable sources that show that these fields are being pumped harder than ever to keep up with world demand.
