Beyond Oil

The View from Hubbert's Peak
Summary:

The book presents an analysis of the world's dependency on fossil fuels, particularly oil, and predicts an imminent peak in global oil production based on geologist M. King Hubbert's methodology. It discusses the potential economic, political, and social implications of this peak and explores alternative energy sources and strategies for a post-peak future.

Key points:

1. Hubbert's Peak Theory: The book discusses peak oil, the highest point of oil production before decline. M. King Hubbert predicted the U.S. peak in the 1970s and the book extends this to a global peak in the early 2000s.
