ATI TEAS 7 READING 2022
Read the passage below before answering the question.
Given the media coverage surrounding climate change, most people are aware of this
environmental issue. One that is less well known but may become just as crucial is "peak oil."
What is peak oil? Simply put, it is the point at which the world production of oil reaches its highest
point and begins a steady, irreversible decline. This has been known for some time. Hubbert's
Curve (1956), named for the scientist who formulated it, predicted that U.S. production would
peak around 1970. He was off by 1 year. Since 1971-2, the oil production of the United States has
been gradually declining.
