Happy Birthday, Peak Oil! M. King Hubbert tribute
Peak Oil turns 50!
March 8, 2006 marks the fifty year anniversary of M. King Hubbert’s seminal speech in which he accurately forecasted the 1970 peaking of United States oil production. Few heeded Hubbert’s warning and many, including the United States Geological Survey, actively sought to discredit his work. The lack of preparation on the government’s part set the United States up for the oil shocks of the 1970’s and egregious dependence on foreign oil that we experience today.
In honor of M. King Hubbert’s courageous stand, Post Carbon Institute and Global Public Media have compiled many previously unavailable materials about Hubbert and interviews into an online tribute at MKingHubbert.com. The tribute provides a rare glimpse into the life and times of M. King Hubbert, the grandfather of the peak oil movement.
