5. Daniel Yergin. Oil industry shill
Heads up CERA, a consulting company that specializes in advising governments and private companies on energy markets, geopolitics, industry trends, and strategy.

Basically, he is tasked by the oil industry to blow smoke up peoples asses about how petroleum resources are plentiful and there is no looming supply problem.

There is a lot of money to be made in the initial stages of 'peak oil', some of which will not be made if the 'consumers' catch wind of the beginning of the end of the oil age, and start to make other economic and political arrangements. This is why the existence and effects of peak oil are being treated similar to global warming by the corporate media and our politicians.
