WASHINGTON, Oct. 5 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Association for the Study of Peak Oil and Gas (ASPO USA) is holding a news conference to build awareness of the energy crisis and the drastic consequences of shrinking oil supplies on our everyday lives, the economy, the environment and the military.
The debate about Peak Oil is over. Petroleum is being consumed four times faster than it is being discovered. It's time for the government and society to recognize the crisis. Immediate, bold action is required in the areas of conservation, mass transit, new technologies and lifestyle changes.
The news conference is the opening event of the three-day, 2010 ASPO PEAK OIL CONFERENCE at the Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill. This is the sixth annual gathering of international energy experts from industry, academia, government, NGOs and the environmental community. The conference will include former Secretary of Energy James Schlesinger, scientists studying Peak Oil, advocates from across the political spectrum, including Ralph Nader and Bianca Jagger, and U.S. Representative Roscoe Bartlett.

- Mr. Jim Baldauf, ASPO-USA Co-founder and President
