Subject: post carbon institute O&G Efforts by the Saudi oil industry to quell the fears of both industry
insiders and laymen seem to have fallen short. In April 2004, for instance,CSPAN televised a conference sponsored by the Saudi Business Council in which numerous representatives of both the Saudi and US oil industries assured the audience that there is nothing to worry about in regards to the world’s oil supply and that fears of a crisis are completely unfounded. I got a nervous knot in my stomach while watching the conference because as Julian Darley of the Post Carbon Institute later pointed out, “That so many highranking Saudi and US officials should gather in public to tell us not to worry should be quite worrisome.”
