When oil peaked
In Hubbert's Peak and Beyond Oil, the geologist Kenneth S. Deffeyes laid out his rationale for concluding that world oil production would continue to follow a bell-shaped curve, with the peak occurring in 2005 - in keeping with the projections of his former colleague, M. King Hubbert. In this book, Deffeyes revisits his original forecasts, examines the arguments that were made both for and against them, adds some new supporting material to his overall argument, and applies the same mode of analysis to a number of other finite gifts from Earth.
