Oil industry analyst Matthew Simmons draws on his extensive experience in the global energy market to assess the future of Saudi Arabia's oil production capacity. In his new book, Twilight in the Desert: The Coming Saudi Oil Shock and the World Economy, Simmons argues that Saudi reserves could soon face a serious and irreversible decline, and considers what the world will look like when Saudi petroleum reserves peak. How high will prices rise? What impact will shortages have on the growing, energy hungry economies of India and China?

Wind power is one of the most appealing sources of renewable energy today. Learn about the history of wind energy in the area (including windmills and sailing vessels) and hear about more recent developments, particularly in Hull. We will also discuss the future possibilities for offshore wind, both in the immediate environs of the Harbor, and also (in the longer term) in deeper waters, further offshore.
