Resurgence of fossil fuels? [PDF]
Clean Technologies and Environmental Policy, 2013 The famed Shell Geophysicist M. King Hubbert predicted in the 1950s that oil production in the United States would peak in the 1970s and decline thereafter, creating an ever increasing shortage and consequent dependence on imports to power the increasing societal needs. The facts from the U.S.
