Dale Allen Pfeiffer is a geologist from Michigan, U.S. who has recently been investigating and writing about Hubbert Peak theory and the specter of resource wars.

He is the author of the 2003 book Giants in Their Steps and The End Of The Oil Age in 2004. He has written articles regarding energy at From the Wilderness. He is the author of the often cited essay on peak oil and food production titled Eating Fossil Fuels.

In another essay, Pfeiffer argued the 2003 invasion of Iraq was due to only one reason, access to Iraqi oil. He believes that a series of energy crisis induced shocks will be felt one coming winter in North America as supply fails to meet demand by a significant margin.

After a careful analysis, Pfeiffer predicts that in the near future a lack of material resources will produce a civilization ending social collapse, placing him in the doomer camp. He strongly endorses the Industrial Workers of the World as an organisation that can support an civil adaption to a low carbon economy.
