As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain, I take a look at my wife, and realize she's very plain. But that's just perfect for an Amish like me, you know we shun fancy things like electricity.
I would expect that a sudden disappearence of oil and the catastrophic consequences that would follow would result in a major shift in social and cultural thinking. The exposure of the utter vulnerability in consumerist way of life (all dependent on oil) would cause ideas like Capitalism and industrialization to be discredited. Green ideologies, Primitivism, Back-to-the-land movements would become popular. Renewable energy would be the future.
dont worry people, we still have enough oil until the next few generations, we be dead by then. only thing to worry about is gas prices. And when oil runs out we can all die and the world will start over again.
when mass unemployment hits the entire country can go harvest the crops manually for survival. No oil needed. Of course AGM would be totally against this because it would hurt their bottom line having to pay all those people.
Why DON'T we grow HEMP to produce ethanol, it is 6 times more efficient than corn per meter and grows in a far wider region? OH YEAH the dumb fucks that run our government made it illegal, putting it in the same category as marijuana, even though it cannot be smoked as a psychoactive agent!
so, let me get this straight...Canada, the country with the 2nd largest oil reserves (in ground oil) and second largest producer of natural gas, in the the world, is the country that has the biggest problems coming up with fuel? and on top of that, crops, which are oil intensive, are wasted by creating biofuels....best case, it takes 1.3 gallons of fuel to create 1 gallon of biofuel..and if your only source of fuel is biofuel, you can see this isn't going to work out well...script rewrite needed
In my social studies class we were going to right an essay about how our life would be like without oil, but luckly we convinced our teacher to let us watch this instead. :)
The history Channel should have higher quality programs than this. The science and time line in these 'Aftermath' programs are absurdly flawed. Programs like this unteach people.
yes it looks like its an apocalyptic movie but face the truth.... we need to invest more in alternative power generators such as wind sea and basically sun.... no matter when its positive that oil wont last for ever...
I would hook up with people on the coast that had a sailboat and bring a fishing pole and go to wal-mart and steal all the lighters they had and a good pole and a gun.
Granted, this program presents an extremely unrealistic and exaggerated scenario. However, given that the entire process of American agriculture is so heavily dependent on petroleum (from preparing the soil to harvesting and transportation) to the point that an estimated ten calories of petrochemicals must be burned to produce every calorie of food consumed in this country, this program is still -- if you'll pardon the ironic pun -- food for thought.
You see that scenario about garbage building up in Toronto? Yeah, those images aren't made for the film, that shit really went down a couple years ago when the union the garbage collectors were in went on strike for a month (I think it was a month anyway). So that stuff was based on fact of what DOES happen when garbage collection stops.
@EasyEs Yes, by definition, I would be. Just like paid soldiers get all pissy by the opposing side (e.g. US and UK soldiers fighting the Taliban). Just like opponents in a death penalty battle. By definition, each side in a conflict believes the opposing side should stand down. Has absolutely nothing to do whether it is many vs many or 1 vs many. However, invariably, one side is always much more wrong than the other.
Funny, I am already making diesel from waste plastic and butanol from garbage. Oil will not just "run out" but slowly dwindle, meanwhile I will continue to power my cars and equipment for free.
No shit food is health. Ecology-Biology-consumption-production-communication. Keep the 98.6 degrees, I'll be eating kangaroo, grubs and water Lillie's in the gisspslands, Australia 4 ever.
In 5 months you could grow enough vegetables to have a fully sustainable starch diet for 5 people on about 500 square meters I'd say, this seems to be a docudrama about just north America, cause trust me most people would react this way, but seriously using corn to run your cars instead of yielding that fruit and veg for sale at a local farmers market where I doubt the price would go up? Fuck the history channel.
There is NO reason ELECTRICITY cannot run in a post-oil world
(assuming that the little oil that is left is saved for emergency purposes),
IF we create as many wind and solar farms RIGHT NOW.
The only way THIS will happen is if we STOP THIS BULLSHIT OF CALLING ENVIRONMENTALIST EXTREMISM a BAD THING!
Anthropogenic global warming (AGW) deniers and other extreme pro-free-market fanatics who resist the TINIEST restriction on their consumption or lifestyle need to be killed now.

Things would not get this bad if we had tough laws against human breeding and overpopulation - mandatory vasectomies for men - outlawed meat (factory farming = holocaust for animals), made everyone vegan, until we figured out the technology to create biosynthesized invitro meat,
outlawed gas-powered cars NOW.
But conservatives and peak-oil-deniers are bleeding hearts, crying if billionaires can't have a 4th yacht or another trillion dollar bailout.
BREAKING NEWS!!! - In addition to all other changes happening in the world on October 28, 2011 which is the end of one of the Mayan calendar cycle, Free energy via Cold fusion will be launched. Look up e-cat cold fusion on the internet. This will definitely change our world. Isn't that great? :)
This video is a bit over the top, but we can't run on oil forever. Fortunately it won't run out all at once, which means that these kinds of scenarios are unlikely, given that we can have anywhere from 30 to 100 years to work on the problem. When it does, it will not be the end of civilization as we know it, either, we will just come to a new point of stability after some initial unrest - we'll have to start living more like the Amish in a 18th century lifestyle, which won't be all that bad.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This film is put together by the NWO Jewish Zionist History Channel so those fuckers can't help it but add their special touch to it. What stand out is the statement that power grids are isolated in the US and cannot share electricity. This has never been true, all power grids operate coast-to-coast on the exact same cycle, which means they can all share. However, in recent news, they are making grids run on different cycles, which will make sharing impossible. Good job NWO Jews!
This is total BS regarding soy beans into oil. How is the bean farmer going to fertilize with oil based fertilizer? How is the bean farmer supposed to power his tractor or power the irrigation pumps? How is the bean farmer going to move his product?
They also don't mention wood gas generation systems. From materials salvaged from a junk yard, I can build a wood gas generator that will power a truck or a tractor using wood chips.
Every one of those abandoned cars has ATF in their transmissions. My truck can run on that, although it would smoke. It can also run on the oil in the engines.
I think they're underestimating the carnage in this video. First there would be a die off due to people not getting their medication. Diabetics would die off quickly. Then municipal water systems would fail and there would be a massive death toll due to people drinking contaminated water (even when they had Clorox in their laundry room)
Actually, hunters would force deer into extinction pretty quickly if things got that bad. There's only 30 million deer in North America, and there are about 17 million registered hunters. If each hunter catches 2 deer, deer will go extinct.
Okay, this is assuming that all emergency personnel, Government, and other people who work on the infrastructure will work for no pay.
This video depicts the best case scenario if oil were to vanish, not the worst.
One cannot overstate the often brutal nature of many when faced with starvation, lack of resources, no medication,lack of practical survival knowledge, and death.
@cowdust51 I can bet the amish would be smiling during this whole crisis and thinking "Now who is backward thinking my english!" probably the only time when an amish person would have the god given right to be smug is during this
I like how the rest of the world is like "okay, times are really hard" but Canada has basically descended into Mad Max-style post-apocalyptic insanity.
if this would happen there humans would have to learn how to live off the land grow there own food travel by bike or food no one would get to work or school or stores.
Another propaganda of oil industry.TRAINS DO NOT NEED OIL! THEY RUN ON ELECTRICITY! In sixties Chrysler built a turbune engin that worked on ANY liquid that would burn! It vanished! Why? It could run on alcohol....which ar those days cost abot 1/2 cents per gallon.This stuff is worse than communist propaganda
@chriskar5 BUT you don't realise that this COULD become a reality thank god for scientists who prepared for when this happens or when it will happen you never ever know
& YES THEY DO NEED OIL.
but stupid oil companies pay people not to invent stuff that run on water because it makes them lose money
@chriskar5 Actually, they do. I looked into it, and I found out that all modern trains are electric but use diesel engines to run big generators to power the electric motors. So, hough they run on electricity, that electricity comes from diesel fuel.
anyone else find it funny that at 5:22 they are supposed to be in ney york city. (probably in an apartment up high) but you see houses at gound level out side the window.
