"The Age of Oil — 100-plus years of astonishing economic growth made possible by cheap, abundant oil — could be ending without our really being aware of it. Oil is a finite commodity. At some point even the vast reservoirs of Saudi Arabia will run dry. But before that happens there will come a day when oil production 'peaks,' when demand overtakes supply (and never looks back), resulting in large and possibly catastrophic price increases that could make today's $60-a-barrel oil look like chump change...

  • The big sign of Peak Oil will be back to back to back to back recessions that we never seem to get out of. No cheap oil = No growth

  • @begoneyoubum The crunch will not be an end to oil production. The crunch will be the spiking of oil prices. When people really get it in their heads that SUVs are giant lawn sculptures then we'll see some fireworks. What we've seen so far is nothing. Learn how to garden, by the by. Petroleum agriculture is going to go away as well. That's the big problem as far as I can see. Forget the cars. People will be killing each other for food.

    Victory gardens.

  • @freeteepee fuck off hippie, oil is everything, oil is the most important thing, i love oil, we will be oil gods, people like you end up like slaves, people like me end up as billionaires.

  • Lol 'today's $60-a-barrel'... bit past that already eh. 9 month high today

  • @HorseCents Utter garbage! The word science comes from the latin "scientia", meaning knowledge, something you clearly don't have much of. If you don't know what you're talking about, keep quiet instead of making it up as you go along and then spouting the kind of trash you have here just so you can bring your primitive religion's ludicrous precepts into the discussion.

  • peak oil is over - may the days of peace come soon, where we can live without this bunch of moneymaking destroyers

  • Boring

  • @Dilyan881

    Mabey you just need to study for a job in renewable energy?

    I firmly believe nowadays that this whole financial mess we are in is mostly about our energy, or better said the price of our energy.

    That's why our politicians have only talked total rubbish for the last 3 years cause they don't have a solution.

    This mess isnt just about some greedy financial terrorists who crashed the economy, the problem is much deeper then that, and if youve seen this doc you know what i mean.

  • fac this im 23 going to collage and this is so demotivating for me, im so depressed....we need human extermination

  • @HorseCents lol cool story bro.

  • Typical Godless liberal fear-mongering scarcity propaganda.

    When God created the Earth He made certain that Man would have enough energy to last until The Rapture. Harold Camping had the date all wrong but the principle is sound.

    Did you know that the root of the word SCIENCE is SÉANCE, meaning it's a black art and can't be trusted? Now you do!

  • holy fuck and this documentary was 5 YEARS AGO. god help us all
