Deffeyes argues that the world has already passed peak oil, and that we are now entering a period of declining production. This has profound implications for the global economy, and for the way we live our lives.

In When Oil Peaked, Deffeyes provides a clear and concise explanation of the science of peak oil. He examines the geological factors that control oil production, and he shows how the world's oil reserves are being depleted at an alarming rate. He also discusses the economic and political consequences of peak oil, and he offers some suggestions for how we can prepare for a future without oil.

When Oil Peaked is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the challenges that the world faces in the coming years. It is a clear and well-written book that provides a valuable insight into the future of energy.
