The opening paragraph from www.hubbertpeak.com:
At a meeting of the American Institute of Petroleum in 1956, despite protests from his employer's public relations department, Dr. M. King Hubbert correctly predicted that USA oil production would peak around 1970. In 1974, he predicted that world petroleum output would peak around 1995. Based on current data and new analytical techniques, recent studies by Dr. Colin J. Campbell and others conclude that world petroleum output will peak during the first decade of the next century and will decline rapidly thereafter.
