Oil Smoke and Mirrors (Full High Quality)

"I heartily recommend this documentary. It should be watched by every citizen of the U.S." - Dale Allen Pfeiffer. Author "Eating Fossil Fuels". Please visit: http://oilsmokeandmirrors.com/ and purchase a copy of the DVD or send the producers of this film a donation, to help support future productions of this caliber in the future.

"Oil Smoke & Mirrors" offers a sobering critique of our perceived recent history, of our present global circumstances, and of our shared future in light of imminent, under-reported and mis-represented energy production constraints.

Through a series of impressively candid, informed and articulate interviews, this film argues that the bizzare events surrounding the 9/11 attacks, and the equally bizzare prosecution of the so-called "war on terror", can be more credibly understood in the wider context of an imminent and critical divergence between available global oil aupply and and global oil demand.

The picture "Oil, Smoke & Mirrors" paints is one of a tragically hyper-mediated global-political culture, which, for whatever reason, demonstrably disassociates itself from the values it claims to represent.

While the ideas presented in this film can at first seem daunting, it's ultimate assertion is that these challenges can indeed be met and surpassed, if, but only if, we can find the courage to perceive them.

"Oil, Smoke & Mirrors" is an independent production. The producer has neither association with, nor membership of, any political organisation.

Absolutely you must read a book called "The Prize" - By Daniel Yergin
I am going to try to upload the PBS documentary here to YouTube for education purposes, but otherwise you can find it posted on Disclose.tv Just search for "The History of Oil Money Power and Corruption"

I hope it can be done in 10 years or less. We will also have to change our ideas of growth, consumption and waste. Also, what will happen to all our combustion engines? and our aircraft?

When oil starts to run so low that it hurts business at large. I wouldn't call it a utopia. We will still BUY electricity. We are just not in a situation anymore where our society will collapse if we were to run out of oil.

It wouldn't take 100 years. to solarize the grid. It could be done for 2 billion dollars maximum and would take 10 years if they were going slow and taking their time. All you doing is setting up panels and grid tie inverters (i'm an electrical engineer).

You're right, it's not something to be 'afraid' of, but it's going to require radical changes in everyones lifestyle, not for worse, but for the better! :-)

Climate change is a problem of the present time, which is not discussed. Climate change is based on data collected today. If we stopped producing CO2 in the atmosphere today, the temperature rise that will happen because of it will last for the next 1000 years. If we wanted to convert our civilisation to electricity it might take up to 100 years of construction. It’s not a problem that is going to be solved quickly and easily.

How long will it take before we are living in this 'utopia'?

A CHEAP way was discovered to make graphene only a couple months ago. Thats why we are not living it now. This is a recent discovery. Just use google and read about it.

Actually, yes it does. If the danger no longer exists then the fear is obsolete because there is not need to be afraid of running out of oil. If something is no longer necessary then it is by definition obsolete.

Fear of this problem has been obsolete since spring of this year 2013.

it`s not going to wipe all of us. Jsut make sure that you are on the winning side.

War is on the horizon. 

[Chris Jones]

also, it doesn't mean that the 'fear is obsolete'. you tried to find a solution, so obviously the fear is quite relavent.

[Chris Jones]

why aren't we living like that now? and why is there so much unemployment?
