Oil shortage or no oil shortage? That is the question and there seem to be many answers depending upon whom you ask.

Then there is Hubbert’s Peak Theory, which accurately predicted that oil production would peak in the 1970s and then gradually decline . . . does that mean it’s really in decline or are we just being more efficient with our use of oil?
