U.S. Representative Roscoe Bartlett

Maryland Congressman Bartlett (R) is the cofounder and cochairman of the Congressional Peak Oil Caucus and the Defense Energy Working Group in addition to being a member of the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency as well as the Oil and National Security Caucuses.

"I am convinced that energy will dominate world and national politics in the 21st Century. Oil runs our economy. Oil runs our military. Oil makes and transports the food that we eat. However, oil is not forever. U.S. oil production peaked - reached a maximum in 1970 and has declined every year since. World oil production will peak too. There are three reasons to accelerate the inevitable transition from fossil fuels to renewable sources: climate change, national security interests, and global peak oil. Without contingency planning and preparation at least ten years in advance, we will have a really bumpy ride if we wait until after global peak oil forces us to transition to alternative renewable sources of energy."

Congressman Bartlett's energy-related activities and resource materials are posted on his Web site.
