M. King Hubbert and the future of peak oil

July 17, 2016

M. King Hubbert and the future of peak oil Almost synonymous with the term “peak oil” is M. King Hubbert, perhaps the foremost geophysicist of the 20th century, who first theorized about the eventual decline of oil production in the 1930s. His life has now been chronicled by science writer Mason Inman in a new […]

The real oil limits story; what other researchers missed

May 14, 2016

The real oil limits story; what other researchers missed For a long time, a common assumption has been that the world will eventually “run out” of oil and other non-renewable resources. Instead, we seem to be running into surpluses and low prices. What is going on that was missed by M. King Hubbert, Harold Hotelling, and by […]

A Personal Appreciation of M. King Hubbert

April 18, 2016

A Personal Appreciation of M. King Hubbert A recent vacation afforded me the opportunity to read The Oracle of Oil, Mason Inman’s excellent new biography of Marion King Hubbert.

November 22, 2015

Despite Cheap Gas, Coming Back to Peak Oil [Infographic] Yesterday, in Virginia, I filled up my gas tank for $2.75 a gallon. At that price, even old peak oilers like my wife and I hardly think about poor old King Hubbard’s theory much these days. And though gas has been cheap in the U.S. for […]

Here, I argue that the origins of the Syrian collapse are to be found in the economic downturn generated by the gradual depletion of the Syrian oil reserves. Crude oil had created modern […]

Right Again, Pt. 1

November 18, 2015

Right Again, Pt. 1 Human nature being what it is, predictably there are those who still harbor doubts about certain issues pertaining to current and future fossil fuel supplies. There is, however, no doubt that there’s an over-abundance of juvenile, fact-free nonsense passing as gospel truth from industry cheerleaders and media counterparts. To whose benefit […]

Peak Oil Has More To Do With Oil Prices Than You May Think The Origins of Peak Oil Awareness The scientific study of peak oil began in the 1950′s, when Shell geophysicist M.

The Science of Peak Oil

March 11, 2015

The Science of Peak Oil  One of the many barbs often pointed at peak oil proponents is that they are constantly shifting the goal posts. Peak oilers are accused of changing the definition of what peak oil actually means, therefore the entire concept of oil production peaking is rubbish. Far from a valid criticism however, this […]
