Byron King is, in his own words, "a practicing attorney in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with real clients and real law books on his shelves." He is a regular contributor to the
Whiskey and Gunpowder web site.
On Sunday, August 13, 2006, he published in the
Pittsburg Post-Gazette an op-ed piece entitled
"Peak Oil—Get used to it," a call for taking seriously the impending threat posed by the end of the era of cheap oil.
