Interesting data

An interesting article written by a geologist that discusses how Hubbard's methods of predicting peak oil have been shown to be effective, more so than the oil industry or goverments' estimates:

The thing that struck me was that the author said that the North Sea peaked in 1999, and is already 25% below peak after 6 or 7 years. This implies that post-peak, production could drop precipitously.

Making preparation for peak all the more urgent in my paranoid mind :)
