The mystery unfolds

In 2004, the documentary The End of Suburbia publicly launched the controversial issue of peak oil. This March, in the second film in director Gregory Greene's trilogy, Escape from Suburbia: Beyond the American Dream, we discover what we're up against and how we might survive a post-carbon future. Experts reveal critical information about the economic, scientific, political and social impact of oil depletion, while community agriculture and environmental organizations, the transportation industry and the peak oil movement square off over the myths that perpetuate paranoia and the truths that challenge the status quo. Are you ready for the 21st century?

I say use more oil. The faster we use it up - the sooner we'll be able to adopt new technology. Rationing and conserving oil resources will only prolong the agony we're experiencing now. Running out is the only thing that will make for a major change.

Also, keep in mind the problems don't start when you run out of oil. It starts long before. When production peaks and starts to decline, the price of oil only goes up and up until no one can afford it. That's peak oil.

I have the laugh my ass off on the statment America is addicted to oil. The people are not addicted but the big oil cartels are addicted to the big money. What people don't know thus understand is the big oil cartels know there is cheap and maybe free energy coming on this planet soon. The reason they fight to keep these technologies hidden and out of the publics eye is because there is no way for big business to control it thus charge for it. Ignorance is their biggest weapon to hide this fact.

everyone should stop worrying, in the next 25 years lots of ppl are gonna die from various causes, the stronger members of our species will survive and reclaim the land, the ones who know how to live off what nature provides and respect the sanctity of it. Fuck the rest of em

@nutlessneo WELL SAID !!

@urbanverbal - Hey Mr. wizard - those new technologies won't do us a lot of good when we're dead from sending all those burnt fossil fuels into the atmosphere to increase the planet's temperature; which is already twice as high as it's ever been in the planet's history since two ice-ages ago - brilliant. The oil is there for a reason and it's not for us to waste driving to the store in an SUV to get a bottle of water!

Fuck lawns.

@16sag7 Bullshit. This is a false theory of people who think, that they can live the way they lived before forever. They just don't want to face the truth. The truth is, that this energy consuming lifestyle we living is not sustainable, our life, the world will change completely.

[invad3r1987]

@governator86 Uranium will peak just like oil, in 2025. Fusion reactors could be a solution, the problem is, that the first prototype will be finished in 2040, if everything goes well.

I am addicted....

What are you addicted to?

Oil....

and sometimes I pee in the shower!

[MrEnergyCzar]

Great video...I converted my home to a net-zero solar powered home that uses no oil or gas...I made a video about it called, "Preparing for Peak Oil".....

[MrEnergyCzar]

Great film. Price signals will force people to change or you can do it ahead of the masses when its easier..

[MisterHolaMan]

I just want to be free of America, you can't help there can you?
