Talk:Peak Oil

Beginning work on proposed article on the talk page. Hubbert linearization is a particular rough model for charactarizing depletion and production of a finite resource, which happens to be the inspiration for peak oil discussions, because he correctly predicted the US peak. The topic of peak oil is not predicated on an exact fulfillment of Hubbert's curve - just a general bell shape.
