The Peak Oil Crisis - Where is the Washington Post?
By Tom Whipple
(Editor of ASPO - USA's Peak Oil Review)
If you live around Washington , DC and have much do with the federal government, then you probably read the Post. There are a few exceptions. If you are into finance or securities you reach for the Wall StreetJournal each day. If your politics are more than a few degrees to the right, you are going to be happier with the Washington Times, and if you are a deep thinker, then your day is not complete without the New York Times.
As a general rule, however, the tens of thousands who run our nation, or talk frequently to those that do, absorb their world outlook each day from the pages of the Washington Post.
For decades, the management and staff of the Post have always taken this responsibility very seriously, as "the" newspaper of our nation's capitol they have a special responsibility to see that our leaders and their advisors are kept fully informed with the latest information and best thinking about nearly everything our federal government must confront. In most cases they have handled this responsibility very well amidst the shifting sands and political pressures of Washington .
However, for those of us who take seriously the possibility, or if you will, the probability, that further increases of any significance in world oil production are looking less likely all the time, the Post's near silence on the issue is an major anomaly.
