Rick, I'm really just barely informed on the most minimal basics. OTOH, it isn't that difficult for a layperson to become as informed as I am. All I've been doing is hanging out at TheOilDrum.com and reading the discussions there among knowledgeable oil industry folks. Or rather skimming them--because most of the discussion goes way over my head, it's so technical. Even just the material in the New York Times, and/or the Times Picayune (of New Orleans--at nola.com) and some of the excellent articles in the Wall Street Journal will give you most of the basics, enough to recognize a tall tale when you see one. (You *aren't* likely to get a clear picture even on this basic level from TV, though, either broadcast or cable.)
