Matt Simmons: The BP Cap Test Is "Absurd" And BP Is Lying To Us

Hard for anyone out there refute the industry knowledge of Matt Simmons.  One colleague of mine, who was an oil and gas analyst at Salomon Brothers and who worked with Simmons for years, describes him as the definitive source for oil and gas industry expertise.   Here's what Mr. Simmons has to say about the latest BP/Obama contrivance:

  2. Karl Denninger at The Market Ticker obviously thinks you are exaggerating the problem of the Oil Spill. With all the "blogs" out there on the internet who really has the truth?

  3. Karl can't think his way out of a paperbag.

    Simmons senile? I know for a fact he's not.

  4. Someone is wrong here. I'm betting it's Simmons. Where's the proof of a mysterious open hole spewing 120,000 barrels a day of oil?

    Without that Simmons is nothing more than nut.

  5. Rattigan should know better than to give Simmons a venue for his unproven scaremongering.

  6. Sorry Michael. Denial ain't a river in Egypt.

    I have a VERY close colleague who knows someone high up at NOAA and his NOAA contact was telling him everything Simmons was saying, only my friend heard all of this 3 weeks ago. Simmons refers to NOAA by the way.

    NOAA scientists have been saying 100k barrels/day for at least 6 weeks now.

    That info on methane hydrate that Simmons refers to, see my blog post a couple days ago for even more specific details about what is happening with that. That info also comes from NOAA scientists.

    How can you AT ALL believe anyting in the mainstrema media when its a god damn fact that the Chief Ape in the White House has put a clamp on news. I saw an email to a friend from her friend in Germany who emailed with complete disbelief at how much more news details were being published in German vs. here.

    You wanna live in the dark, that's your business. Go worship Joe Kernan and Steve Liesman.

  8. He's dead wrong on most topics. His followers follow him as slavishly as Jim Jones' followers did. Old wine in a new bottle.

  9. Dave,
    You may disagree with the president of these United States. Everyone has that right. However, you lose all credibility when you make personal, rude attacks such as"Chief Ape in the White House". You seem very intelligent in areas of your expertise but you are an embarrassment when you blindly lash out spewing hate.

  10. Karl does make a few good points but lately his postings have been dope'ish to say the least.

    Chief Ape...LOL

  11. Sam, at least I published your view - that's something BHO would have discarded. Political "correctness" is seeded in sanctimony. Don't let that cross on your back get too heavy.

  12. Dave, why do you insult apes? They are NICE animals.
    They destroy nobody, cannot lie and have sex, not WARS!

  13. LOL Fauvi. Good point. I retract my statement - I should have said "cockroach" in the White House.
