The article is today's "Ahead of the Tape" column on page C1. It's very short but does discuss Hubbert and also includes a chart:

Also on page C1, in another article, Soft Energy Prices May Be Costly Later, is a quote from T. Boone Pickens:

T. Boone Pickens, the energy-investment titan whose investment fund BP Capital Management bets big on higher energy prices, is adamant that oil prices remain on an upward trajectory and probably have bottomed for now. "I think you'll see $70 oil before $50," Mr. Pickens says in an interview. "We're depleting this natural resource. It's unavoidable."

Finally, a free article from today's WSJ:

Renewable Fuels May Provide 25% of U.S. Energy by 2025

WASHINGTON -- A new Rand Corp. study showing the falling costs of ethanol, wind power and other forms of renewable energy predicts such sources could furnish as much as 25% of the U.S.'s conventional energy by 2025 at little or no additional expense.

A second renewable-energy report soon to be released by the National Academy of Sciences suggests wood chips may become a plentiful source of ethanol and electricity for industrial nations because their forested areas are expanding, led by the U.S. and China.

Thanks!  
The chart above is grossely wrong. And it gives, as its source, the EIA. I think what they meant to show, with this chart, is millions of barrels per day. That would put it about right.

Correction

The chart would be about right, in millions of barrels per day, if you took the zero off numbers to the left of the chart.

I think they forgot to add the . between the 3 and 0.  THAT puts it exactly right :)
Yes, that is correct. I had it wrong also. It would not be correct if it were millions of barrels per day, it would be correct if it were billions of barrels per year divided by 10.

The WSJ published a correction today (Tuesday, November 14, 2006), on Page A2:

Corrections & Amplifications

U.S. ANNUAL CRUDE OIL production in 2005 totaled 1.89 billion barrels. The scale of a chart of U.S. crude oil production accompanying yesterday's Ahead of the Tape column incorrectly overstated all of the output figures by a factor of 10.
