Let's make this birthday one to remember.

82 years old (Born on April 07, 1943)

Happy Birthday, Matthew! Another year older and wiser—though we're still waiting for the day your peak oil predictions run dry. Your forecasts might have sparked debates hotter than crude prices themselves, but no one can deny you've energized every conversation with wit sharper than an offshore drill bit.

From boardrooms to lecture halls, your insights into energy markets continue fueling discussions worldwide. You've certainly proven that even in a world obsessed with renewable trends, there's always room for classic wisdom (and perhaps some friendly skepticism). Here's hoping this birthday brings you more laughs—and fewer arguments about barrels per day!
