While Simmons may well be right, it must be noted that he is one of the largest, most powerful and most connected investors in the oil business.
To say that he has an agenda would be a massive understatement.
On the other hand -- Simmons has been right far too many times to be discounted. ... Just take it all with a few grains of salt. The man has a mission...

GW, WTF? You title a section 'There is a "Lake of Oil" in the Gulf' and then write "I don't know about this claim." Simmons is clear that it's a "lake" of thick, black oil that he believes is there. In a particularly nefarious move he's claimed that that's what staff aboard the Thomas Jefferson relayed to him and that it's in their reports, which is clearly untrue. Not dispersed "plumes" measured in ppm, but a lake. Thick, black oil. In fact, the claimed size of Lake Simmons would hold ~250 times the world's known reserves. If that's not enough to just stop right there, what would be?
