Kudos to Maryland 6th District Republican Representative Roscoe Bartlett who is currently, as I write this, giving a long (going on more than 45 minutes) discussion on the House floor on the dangers of impending Peak Oil, including extensive charts and graphs from SAIC’s Dr. Robert Hirsch that are consistent with everything we have discussed regarding dwindling oil resources. “We are about 100-150 years through the age of oil (about 1/2 way).” “The world has never faced a problem like this.”

His website indicates that Peak Oil is a key interest of his.
