Hubbert Peak of Oil Production

A Message from the Editor
In the summer of 1965, as I prepared to go to Australia to continue my studies as a graduate student and teach part time at the University of Adelaide, I learned that the draft board would not issue me a permit to leave the country. To avoid the draft I was encouraged to seek a job teaching at San Jose State School of Engineering. I promptly met Norm Gunderson, the Dean of Engineering, and he offered me a job on the spot.
By the grace of God, a few months later I was fortunate to have Bucky Fuller as a "visiting scholar" for two months in the class that I co-taught with others, called Cybernation and Man. (This was a bit before the feminist movement caught on.)
One of the things that Bucky stressed repeatedly was that we (humanity) should save our oil resources for a rainy day. What a horrible waste to burn this valuable resource in a car engine! As the years went by, often as I drove a car or hopped on a plane, I remembered and was disturbed by this admonition.
