SF Luncheon	10/17	12-1:15	San Francisco
Professor Deffeyes to Discuss the Potential for a Major Energy Crisis in the future Princeton Professor Ken Deffeyes will discuss the possibility that the world will experience a major energy crisis in upcoming decades. In his new book "Hubbert's Peak" (to be published in October), Professor Deffeyes asserts that global oil production will probably reach a peak sometime during this decade. After this peak, the world's production of crude oil will fall; never to rise again. The world will not run out of energy, but developing energy sources on a large scale will take at least ten years, and the possibility of a major crisis exists. Professor Deffeyes grew up in the oilfields. After graduating from the Colorado School of Mines, he worked for Shell Oil, served in the Army at the Presidio, and earned a Ph.D. degree from Princeton. Professor Deffeyes joined the Princeton faculty in 1967; many students remember his "Rocks for Jocks" course. Others know about him from John McPhee's books on geology. While teaching at Princeton, Professor Deffeyes has consulted on oil and gas drilling programs and has been an expert witness in oil litigation. Come and meet other local alumni and enjoy a lively talk and discussion over lunch. Luncheon reservations are required at least 24 hours in advance; to reserve, contact .
