"The Oil Age" and "The Last Chance for Sustainability"
Dear Colleague,
High energy prices are a top concern of our constituents. The two items dropped off by my staff are designed to help you address them.
The first item is a poster titled "The Oil Age: World Oil Production 1859-2050." It is an encyclopedia of information about oil from world energy experts divided into sections. The common conclusion is that world oil production will reach its maximum capacity or "peak" within a decade. That means supply will not be able to grow to meet projected worldwide increases in demand. The energy policies we as lawmakers craft and enact will influence how drastic or steep the decline in supply will be.
I am also providing you a copy of the book "The End of Fossil Energy and The Last Chance for Sustainability" by John G. Howe. Mr. Howe has some very creative ideas to help us think "outside of the box" when it comes to alternative, nuclear, and renewable energy proposals.
If you should have any questions regarding either of these items please do not hesitate to contact me, my Energy Project Coordinator (John Darnell), or my Energy Legislative Assistant (Mark Aitken) at ext. 5-2721. I hope you find these items useful as we work together to investigate and adopt solutions that will address our pending energy crisis.
Sincerely,
Roscoe G. Bartlett
