Insight and inspiration in turbulent times.
How accurate has the Hubbert Linearization technique been in predicting post-peak cumulative Lower 48 oil production? What can the Lower 48 model tell us about the future of world net oil export capacity? Finally, we have a recommendation, a fundamental shift in US tax policy.

When I first read James Howard Kunstler’s Rolling Stone excerpt last year, I knew I needed to know more about peak oil. Thousands of pages later I have a far more nuanced picture, and am now back at college teaching a course on peak oil. (Syllabus included)
