This is not correct, he predicted the peak of United States oil production in the early 1970s, his 1956 prediction came true in 1974- United States Oil production has been in decline since 1974 - imported oil makes up the difference which explains why you did not notice the decline.

Production declined because refineries and oil fields were and continue to be capped, not because supply has peaked. I don't notice a decline because there is none.

I am not aware of any 1995 prediction.

Why not?

"'THE END OF THE OIL AGE is in sight,' says U.S. petroleum geologist M. King Hubbert.... If present trends continue, Dr. Hubbert estimates, production will peak in 1995 -- the deadline for alternative forms of energy that must replace petroleum in the sharp drop-off that follows." from "Oil, the Dwindling Treasure," National Geographic [June, 1974]

the actual prediction is an estimate 2004-2010. that window has been pushed forward a few years because the economic decline due to the 1979 oil crises was not known about - the kink in the opil production graph demonstrates the impact of this event. The truth is that you won't know we have reached peak until a few years after the fact.

No. The prediction was for 1995. Then 2006. What are you gonna say when it doesn't happen in 2010?

I am not aware of this fact. can you give me a source for this?

Sure. This is merely ONE instance. I could dig up articles all day long...

"And its newly discovered offshore fields of oil and natural gas may turn out to be bigger than those in the North Sea in the 1960s."

Hubberts model takes into account new oil discoveries. new oil discoveries do not compensate the amount that we burn.

So says you and a debunked dead scientist with huge conflicts of interests....

1970s peak predicted in 1956

Hubbert predicted exactly nothing...
