Congressman Bartlett continues to be tireless in his efforts to light a fire under Congress on our energy problem. I hope they look to him once there is a smoking gun, as hes been thinking about these issues for a very long time.
It was quite counterintuitive and impressive that James Woolsey recently said that one of the top policy recommendations for the US would be to first help the chinese scale their renewable infrastructure, implying that the geopolitical game of Risk would begin if one country could run on renewables and the other not. I tried to find that text link but couldnt - if anyone has it please try to post.
I like Roscoe!!
In May I caught an hour long presentation he gave to Congress. Spot on..and I think this letter is spot on.
I would like to hope we can wake up, but even if we did is there time to do anything but duck and cover?
Nate; the latest move in industrial manufacturing IS starting to evolve,.. moving services down to mexico from china. Lets hope Someone from China reads Bartlett's prepared statement. Co-operation is indeed the goal if we are going to get through this issue.

I really appreciate the great work that Congressman Bartlett does for our country. He seems like the kind of Republican my grandfather was but has been buried by the neoconartists-conservative but tolerant of others,honest and a gentlemen. He truly shows his love of the United States by being willing to tackle the energy problem in the world..
What an amazing Republican and congressman! What a decent man! It's hard to believe that he got elected in this country!
