Oil Depletion (Part 3): Linearization & the US

The thirdin a multi-part series which discusses why our traditional view of cheap and abundant energy may be changing. This entry applies Hubbert linearization to the United States. The technique demonstrates that it is possible to predict production peaks while annual production volumes are still increasing. Future entries will apply this technique first to global production. Limitations of the model will also be explained.
