it's not very well know... but M. King Hubbert was one of the 'founding fathers' of the Techcratic movement, and helped set up Technocracy, Inc. as well as writting a large portion of the Study Guide.... so I added this information, plus a pretty picture from a really old newspaper, to the article.

I've read a bit about his biography and I am a bit dismayed that details of his personal life are not included in the biography section. I remember that he was married but none of that is mentioned.
He is a bit of a personal hero of mine and presumably will be even more to others in the future. Paul Bunyun big even. I understand that it should not detract from his work but a little would be nice.--66.223.168.45 (talk) 01:08, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hubbert argued that the main solution for fossil fuel depletion was nuclear energy. The report he made in '56 was called 'Nuclear Energy and the fossil Fuels' for a reason.
