Hubbert is eerily accurate in this analysis 1995+10 years due to the 70'ies oil crisis. Why was he so completely ignored?

[dahveed7]

I think Hubbert was largely ignored because he was talking about limits to growth and the need for a new economic paradigm which is still a challenging subject for most people to stomach.

great upload, where did you find this?

I was allowed to make a copy from the original film owned by Micheal Hubbert, King's favorite nephew!

Light Sweet crude peaked in 2005, all flowing crude peaked in 2008, and unconventional crude is peaking now. In the age of slide rulers and pencils M King Hubbert was off only by 2 years or so and that can be explained by the conservation efforts the United States implemented in the Nixon/Carter years.

The man was spot on!

I've been studying on peak oil for a few years now and this is the first time I've seen Hubbert speak.

My mind = blown

Hmmm...Can anyone say "exponential growth in the exploitation of a finite source"!?

Hubbert the main editor of the Technocracy Study Course. The largest, fastest growing social movement in the U.S. and Canada in the early 1930's. Then it was shut down virtually by the Hearst Corporation and New York Times and other mainstream media outlets. Now it returns with the internet as an archive of historic precedent of biophysical economics or thermoeconomics.

Energy accounting. Google Technocracy Study Course.

I'm sure much oil has been discovered since then, new oil extracting technology developed, and more efficient machines that use oil.

"It's the most disturbing thing that's ever happened to the human species, it's responsible for our technological society... and in terms of human history, it's a very brief epoch."

This could be one of the most important quotes of our time. If only more people actually understood it.

On a completely unrated subject, I really want a Blackberry Playbook!

Mind blowing how few people realize what's REALLY going in the world today is this.

I wish more people like were in the Government!

The King was right....I wonder why they don't teach him in school?
