Molison: The Oil is Running Out

Green Party of Texas Co-Chair Calls for Crash Investment in Conservation,
Alternative Fuels, Sustainable Living and Nuclear Power

Houston, Texas, September 21, 2004 - After viewing the movie "The End 
of Suburbia: Oil Depletion and the Collapse of the American Dream," Alfred
Molison, recently elected Co-Chair of the Green Party of Texas, began
researching the problem of worldwide oil supply.

"Let's face it: The cheap oil is running out and at some point we'll run out of oil almost entirely.  Worldwide demand for petroleum is beginning to outstrip supply.  The year 2004 is the last year of increase in global oil production.  Within the next twenty years worldwide oil production will begin a drastic crash," said Molison,

"I saw the movie for the first time at the end of June.  It was interesting
but I didn't think much about it.  Then the price of gas and oil just started going up, up, up.  I started looking at websites about the oil supply like, Hubbert Peak http://www.hubbertpeak.com/, The Post Carbon Institute http://www.postcarbon.org/, the Association for the Study of Peak Oil http://www.peakoil.net/, and the Oil Depletion Analysis Center http://www.odac-info.org/."

Kerry Madole, a reference assistant with Cy-Fair College Library, saw 
"The End of Suburbia" and expressed deep concern.  "What scared me is that 
as the oil supplies crash, and even after the oil has mostly run out, we'll be
plunged into world-wide and everlasting war."

Molison responded, "I'd like to avoid that.  I'd choose nuclear power 
over that or turning ourselves into a coal economy.  Burning coal does far 
more damage to the environment in aggregate than nuclear power plants.  The 
catch is we'll need to make sure these are publicly owned nuclear power 
plants not private."
