Annual Energy Outlook 2005

The Department of Energy's Annual Energy Outlook 2005 (Early Release) is now available on the web. The 2004 version was quoted widely in Michael Klare's Blood and Oil, which I just finished reading. I haven't read it yet, and it probably has politically-slanted conclusions, but judging by the data cited by Klare in his book, there should be plenty of interesting information pointing to the coming energy crunch. Also, quoting this source might carry more weight when arguing with red-staters than, say, something from Michael Ruppert. (Although one key feature of many red-staters is a decided imperviousness to facts, regardless of the source.)
