Peak Oil Theory - the decline of the age of oil

for a final project for Composing for Film, a 3rd/4th-year course.

borrows heavily from a number of related documentaries; the assignment was to create a film and put music to it, so the music is all my own.

listen judgy-pants, I think this *whole video* is all about how we ned to reduce, under the surface. and yes, of course it will change our way of life to be without oil. No doubt. The video hints that we live on a finite planet with finite resources - oil being one of them - and that we need a rethink about how we conduct our lives. No, of course creating the video is not enough to make me an environmentalist. Yes, of course individuals have to change their own habits and consumption.

There is nothing about efficiencies and individual reduction. These issues are almost always ignored.

The incentives to keep using oil is profound. Our standards of living require it for our union wages, academic salaries, health care, pensions.. yet we complain publically pretending to be environmentalists.

Amazing. The economic crisis put a kabosh on the 'theory' as news media would have us believe.
