What would you consider the best documentary about peak oil?
Cause ever since i discovered about it myself about 4 years ago ive noticed that the best way to teach people who are still unaware of it is a documentary about it.
The question about the economy should be to what extent the current economic downturn is caused by high oil prices. Its funny to watch the headlines for the oil markets on a daily basis. On any day in which there is good news about the economy, the oil markets shoot way up. On any day there is bad news it sinks. Given the impact of oil on our economy, you must ask yourself if the economy stands a chance, if every time the economy shows signs of improvement oil prices increase.
@thoughtchallenge I always felt that when we hit $147, people pulled back spending and everything crashed after that. When and if the world comes out of its slump "temporarily", oil will blow through $200 and put us back lower than where we are now.... Think 10 recessions over the next 25 years. We must adapt to the lower energy sources we are moving towards that aren't as good as conventional oil.
I think what we will see is frequent mini-recessions, with each cycle resulting in higher prices and less consumption. $150-$180 oil seems plausible by June or July this year and then a retreat to $110-$120 by next December. That's without a major conflict with Iran...then who knows...$250--$300?
@MrEnergyCzar Hi, I've lived in pakistan and their technology isn't great. However, they use fuel that is methane as well as oil in their cars. How come this can't be done here?
@saquibs20 at last check, there isn't a large methane lobby so the laws won't favor the use of it.... methane is captured from landfill gas for garbage trucks at great cost however....
@PrepForPeak It's definitely and odd feeling not buying gas. In 3 months I've driven 3,300 miles using 5.5 gallons out of the 9 gallon tank. I should buy gas for the first time around President's Day give or take a month....

I have heard as an argument against biofuels something called "peak phosphorus". Could you explain what this means and how it relates to peak oil?

What's it like getting gas so rarely with that Volt? How many miles have you driven and how much gas have you used?
