Dr. Kenneth Deffeyes on Peak Oil

20 minute talk from Rep. Roscoe G. Bartlett’s 2005 Energy Conference. Dr. Deffeyes is an author and Princeton University professor emeritus. He joined the Shell research lab when M. King Hubbert had recently issued his controversial predictions that U.S. oil production would peak during the ’70s. After reworking Hubbert’s numbers, Dr. Deffeyes sought other employment. He is the author of “Hubbert’s Peak: The Impending World Oil Shortage,” and his new book, “Beyond Oil: The View from Hubbert’s Peak.” He makes the case that world oil production is no longer increasing.
