Summary of Deffeyes new book on Hubbert's Peak

[JIM BALDAUF]

>From the summary of Professor Kenneth Deffeyes' new book,
"Hubbert's Peak," in the latest edition of  The American Prospect:

>My own opinion is that the peak in world oil production may even occur
before 2004, and while I would be delighted to be proved wrong, the truth

to 2010.<

(snip)
>After the peak, the world's production of crude oil will fall, never to
rise again. The world will not run out of energy, but developing alternative
energy sources on a large scale will take at least 10 years. In the
meantime, there will be chaos in the oil industry, in governments, and in
national economies.<
