This page contains links to web sites, databases and documents that we find informative. Our goal is to include information that has a high level of analysis and data integration and a very low level of unsupported opinion.

A single forum, The Oil Drum (TOD), is also noteworthy.  Although discussions on TOD occasionally veer off topic, the number of engineers, scientists and industry insiders who comment at TOD make it a useful resource for access to a wide range of professional views from people concerned about energy resources.
