Abstract:
The geologist Deffeyes paints a bleak picture of the future for oil production by stating "World oil production has ceased growing". Deffeyes bases his book on the work of M. King Hubbert, who mathematically determined that the world's oil supply would peak in 2000 and then drop steadily thereafter. Deffeyes tackles the mathematics of Hubbert's method and offers his own prediction of when this peak in production will occur.
