Hubbert peak theory

I'm not that involved with this article but it is getting looked at. I just archived a 164 kb talk page lasting only four months! So, I thought I'd help give the poeple scouring over this some outside help. if need be, I'll implement it--I need to find a new project. --HereToHelp (talk) 02:16, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

It's a pretty good-looking article, but there are a few issues. The Cultural Awareness section includes a couple of neologisms. I'm wondering how widespread those are, since I've never heard of them before. Are they just specific to the energy business? The article seems too US-centric, particularly the somewhat speculative paragraph on economic implications. It needs to cover impacts to other parts of the world, such as China and Europe. The section titled "implications of a world peak" is getting a bit non-neutral and emotive in places, and needs to be backed up with sourced facts and data. I also don't care too much for the expression "individual organisms", rather than "individual people". Bacteria are individual organisms and I doubt they care too much about our energy issues. :) Thanks. — RJH 16:03, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
