He has been working fanatically on peak oil issues for the last few years. Bashing ethanol and fuel cells, arguing for plug-in hybrids, saying all the right things.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

He's part of Tom Friedman's 'Geo Greens'.

I'm all for a big tent green movement, but including crooks like Woolsey who call for bombing Syria and Iran on and off is going a bit too far.

Somehow I doubt he's advising St. John on energy issues. In fact:

He has endorsed Senator John McCain for president and serves as one of McCain's foreign policy advisors.

Yeah, I know (4.00 / 3)

But separating energy policy and foreign policy is impossible.

Hell, foreign policy is almost exlusively about energy!

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
