Matthew Simmons is Chairman and CEO of Simmons and Company International, a Houston based investment bank specializing in the energy industry.

Matt and Jim, who had never met before, were in town for a symposium that night on: "The unfolding energy crisis and its impact on development patterns".

"People pay us to think, research and write, not because they can't think, research and write themselves, but because they prefer to use their time in other ways. They might very well like to explore the effects of Chinese economic growth or the theory of "Peak Oil" on their own, but they don't have the time. So, in effect, they hire us to do it. And remember, this is information you generally can't get from the mainstream media, which, naturally enough, caters to mainstream thinkers."
