Kenneth Deffeyes to Speak on Global Oil Peaking on
Wed. Aug 13th at 7 PM


The San Diego Renewable Energy Society is pleased to announce
that Kenneth Deffeyes, author of the modern classic,
"Hubbert’s Peak: The Impending World Oil Shortage," will
be our guest speaker on Wednesday, August 13, 2008, at
7 pm at The California Center for Sustainable Energy. 
Deffeyes is a Professor Emeritus at Princeton, and a
colleague of M. King Hubbert, a Shell geologist who
rattled a lot of cages by predicting in 1956 that U.S.
oil production would peak in the early 1970’s.  It did
exactly that.  Hubbert, Deffeyes and other experts
then predicted, using Hubbert’s methods, that global
oil production would peak between 2000 and 2008
(Deffeyes, in another book, Beyond Oil: The View from
Hubbert’s Peak, set 2005 as the peak.  In fact he
dubbed Thanksgiving Day, 2005, as World Peak Oil Day.)

Hear for yourself what these scientists have been
warning for decades.  Ask Deffeyes his views on coal,
nuclear, efficiency, renewable energy and offshore
drilling as solutions.  Will Peak Oil be as big a
threat as Global Warming?  Will Peak Oil cancel the
danger of Global Warming?
