A better model introduced in some textbooksis the “Hubbert curve,” a bell-shaped curve resulting from the solution to the logistic equation.Textbook coverage of the Hubbert model, however, is usually limited to a brief allusion andperhaps presentation of a graph of actual vs. predicated production a fossil fuel such as oil ornatural gas. This paper describes how a thorough analytical treatment of the Hubbert curve wasexplored in one energy systems class. Coverage includes mathematical and physical bases forthe exponential and Hubbert models, comparisons of exponential and Hubbert model results, andapplication of the Hubbert curve to various nonrenewable fuels. Through comparisons withactual production data, students
