m. king hubbard predicted the world would reach its maximum oil production about now. if m. king hubbard's speech was the most important speech of the last century, one might ask, twheafs most insightful speech of the last century? i don't know if these two men even knew each other, i don't know if hyman rickover, who i think gave the most invitheful speech in the last century, i don't know if he knew m. king hubbard existed. he was going to talk about the same phenomenon from a different perspective. his speech was given the 15th day of maye, just a little over a year later in 1957. the audience was irrelevant but the audience was a group of physicians in st. paul, minnesota. for many years, his speech was lost. just a few years ago, it was found and it's on the internet now. if you google for rickover and energy speech it will come up. i'm sure that he will agree it is -- you will agree it's probably the most prophetic speech you have ever read. i'm sure you'll agree it might well be the most insightful speech of the last semplingry. i have some quotes here from hyman ricko
