Theory Advocate, Dies at 67
By Edward Klump and David Wethe - Aug 9, 2010 12:34 PM ET
Matthew R. Simmons, an energy investment banker and author of the book "Twilight in the Desert" that suggested Earth's supply of oil is dwindling, died yesterday. He was 67.
Simmons "passed away suddenly," according to an e-mailed statement today from the Ocean Energy Institute, founded by Simmons in 2007 to explore opportunities for harvesting energy from the seas. Simmons is survived by his wife, Ellen, and their five daughters.
Simmons is the founder and former chairman of the investment banking firm Simmons & Co. International, based in Houston. He started the company in May 1974 with a focus on the oil-services industry, according to its website. By the end of 1981, Simmons & Co. had a staff of 13. About 17 years later, the company opened its first office outside Houston, in Aberdeen, Scotland. It has expanded to offer research, institutional sales and investment banking in the energy industry.
"We are deeply saddened by the unexpected loss of a true visionary and friend," Michael E. Frazier, chief executive officer of Simmons & Co., said today in a statement. "As a pivotal figure in the lives of many of our employees, and countless others across the energy industry, Matt will be sorely missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time."
Simmons founded the Ocean Energy Institute in 2007 as a think tank and venture-capital fund for U.S. offshore renewable energy, including wind-powered energy, according to that group's website.
On June 16, Simmons announced his retirement as chairman emeritus from Simmons & Co. so he could focus on the Ocean Energy Institute. He was a frequent critic of BP Plc's efforts to stanch its oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, suggesting at one point that the best option would be to detonate a small nuclear bomb undersea to kill the well.

  • And no word from Alex Jones. That should tell intelligent people something. Vist Fadsmashers. c o m

  • @Fadsmashers What, do you think because Alex didn't say it was murder, it wasn't?

    A man who basically replaced Bill Cooper after he was murdered?

    You need to look a little further into Alex's Antics...!

    And they are ALL Controlled Opposition....!... so there are NO REAL Martyrs here...!

  • You conspiracists are hilarious - listen to yourself - when you say - coincidentally a heart attack. Your logic is so flawed...lol.

  • Shocked... but not surprised...

  • Lets not get ahead of ourselves, he was no angel.

  • Google : INTELLIGENCE: Of Dart Guns and Poisons - TIME

    Just to verify what this guy is saying about the poison dart.

  • Just to verify what this guy is saying about the poison dart.

  • He was 67. Not exactly the poster child for peak health. He also seemed VERY stressed for the last month when he interviewed.

    Like him or not, believe him or not, he spoke truth to power and ignored the "consensus".

    His approach to finances made him a very weathy man. Can't knock him for that...

    A free and man and free thinker has crossed the River. I wish peace and solace to his family and friends.

  • He was 67 years old and wide around the waist span.......

    It is not very strange to have a heart attack then.

  • I swear 5 minutes ago I looked up Matt on Wiki. It stated he was murdered at his home.

    Now minutes later I go to the same page and it says he died of a heart attack. How odd

  • Ya, thats a real weapon they have and the poison is undetectable in an autopsy.

  • CIA CAN SUCK MY NIGGER DICK

  • Haarpcloud - this is sad.. this is the first i heard.. no wonder everyone is aping up now.. lol Very sad

  • I don't think his death was any accident!

    The NWO murdered him for talking too much!

  • wow thats crazy
