it's not so much about a world being without oil. it's about a world being without damaging production processes and corresponding consumer lifestyles.
it 's so much more than just oil...really. it's the whole western world upside down. look at libya, we see something going wrong there and we bomb it. even in the us some guy is saying now they're doing it for oil. can you imagine?
it's all about the old system staying intact as long as possible, unless the people do something.
@Newbpwng yes man these americans are crazy they complain about cheap gas ,even eastern european countries have prices double than in US and the standard of living is 3-5 times lower ,these are crazy people and should be treated acordignly how can you even talk about polution when you have gas this cheap? a lot of bulshit i think that if an american candidate for presidency would propose to have gas prices like in europe he would get max 10% ,america is the land of lies about everything.
These greenies have to get there heads out their asses and realize that without oil your house would be nothing but the wood frameing and even your own refrigerator would not be invented and countless more other items we use today would not be here all in all we need oil
Granted. Oil is vital in the production of many varieties of plastic, but we still need to ween ourselves off oil in as many ways as we possibly can ("reduce the oil addiction to get the good ending" as players of the Flash game Oiligarchy* will tell you), which will allow us to stretch our remaining oil resources out much further and thus keep making plastic and thus keep having houses...
You need to get your head out of your arse more like. Oil is non renewable and thus it is not an option for us to be using it forever. We need to find a way to live without depending on non renewable recources.
thought it was funny when a guy is saying gas could be $4.00 per gallon, it is more than USD$5.00 in Australia and sky hasn't fallen in, maybe you guys in the US need to invest in Public Transport
didnt start this ok?dnt read this(cuz it really wrks). u will gt kissd on the nearest frieday by the love of ur life. 2mara wll b the bst day of ur life hwever if you dnt post ths comment 2 at least 3 vids u will die withn 2 days nw uv startd readn this dnt stp this is so scary snd ths ovr 2 5 vids in 143 mins when ur done press f6 nd ur crush's name wll appear on the screen n big letters ths is so scary cuz it actully wrks ths really wrks
Ken, Jane and all, great job on this retrospective. I'm so glad that WWO lives on. I am so proud to have been a part in it. We're still making changes. In fact this Spring we'll be building our off-grid house and planting our first round of forest garden.
I was able to process a lot of feelings about not only the current situation with climate change, peak oil and the economy, but personal stuff too. You had to bring your entire life to the game, and that is why it had such a rich flavoring of reality.
Oh yeah: oil closed above $100 yesterday. As Bowie once said in a song, "It's no game."
