Nelder is well known for lying about shale gas. Look at this article here.
http://oilandglory.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2012/02/12/is_there_really_so_much_shale_gas_in_the_ground?page=full" Total U.S. gas production has been on an "undulating plateau" since the beginning of 2009, Berman says, as new shale gas output struggles to compensate for a 32 percent-per-year decline in conventional gas production. "
He quotes his pal Art Berman as gospel, but his own chart here shows a significant up-tick from 2009.
So which is it Mr. Nelder. Did the undulating plateau begin in 2009, or at the much higher levels of early 2012?
I doubt Mr. Nelder has the guts to respond to this error, and explain his endoresement (in early 2012) of Berman's " "undulating plateau" since the beginning of 2009" statement.
But until he does, I think everything Mr. Nelder says re: shale gas should be taken with a mountain of salt.
