Congressman Bartlett said, "Fifty years ago, American scientist M. King Hubbert predicted that the United States would peak in oil production in 1970. He was right on. Oil production in the United States has declined every year since then. Hubbert predicted the world would peak in 2000. 33 of 48 major oil producing nations have now peaked. Today, experts differ only on the timing of global peak oil, but many predict it is imminent. With world demand for oil increasing exponentially and no ready substitute of comparable energy density, the prospect of future and continuing declines in world oil production will inflict unprecedented pressures upon our people and national and international social, economic, and political institutions."
