Pessimist No, Realist Yes.
Tim Watkins is certainly no pessimist, nor is he in anyway associated with anything associated as Right of Centre - Tim has been banging on about energy related issues since he began his Blog, he has written two books and is acutely aware of the professional managerial class group think, which he despises - to actually grasp where he's coming from means reading much of his output, which I've done as have been following his posting for 5 years. In many ways, Watkins is not unlike Dr Tim Morgan, who also focuses on energy and essential 'de-growth' - both writers never are fanciful, they are grounded and rely on common sense - Tim Watkins is Cardiff-based, whilst Dr Morgan now resides in Portugal and was previously the Chief Economist for Tullet Prebon, with an emphasis on the fossil fuel sector. I find both Blogs useful, just a shame Watkin's does not use YouTube more or have a readers comments section on his Blog.
