- 8. , the reaction that powers the Sun and other stars.
- 9. , a graph that shows the point at which world oil production would reach a maximum and the point at which we would run out of oil.
- 11. ,a mixture of hydrocarbons, water, and sulfur that occurs in underground deposits.
- 14. ,takes hundreds of millions of years to form.
- 16. ,the idea that the rate of global oil production is near or past its peak and will soon begin a long-term decline.

Down
- 2. ,those that are bought and sold, such as coal, oil and natural gas.
- 3. , using fuel to generate electricity and produce heat.
- 5. ,cylindrical devices that can be inserted between the fuel rods to absorb excess neutrons, thus slowing or stopping the fission reaction.
- 7. ,a degraded type of petroleum that forms when a petroleum migrates close to the surface, where bacteria metabolize some of the light hydrocarbons and others evaporate.
