Peak Oil in the U.S. Congress

peakoil.com -> energybulletin.net :

Mr. BARTLETT of Maryland. Mr. Speaker, sometime ago, our Department of Energy commissioned a study with SAIC, Science Applications International Corporation, to do a study on the peaking of world oil production, impacts mitigation, and risk management. This very prestigious scientific organization took some time to complete this study; and when they completed it, they made a recommendation to the Congress and to the Department of Energy. Part of what they said in their recommendation is included here:

"The peaking of world oil production presents the U.S. and the world with an unprecedented risk management problem."
