Aftermath: World Without Oil in HD - P3 of 3

Part 3 of 3

What would our world look like if we ran out of oil? The lifeblood of our high-tech, highly mobile world won't last forever. Watch one scenario of what happens when one day oil does run out. How might our world change and how would we adapt? Aftermath follows the chaotic days and months after this catastrophic event through dramatic re-creations and CGI animation. Find out how we might cope as food disappears, electrical power fails and winter turns the big cities into isolated pockets of concrete and glass. What will be more important to our survival — the technology to develop new sources of energy, or a change to a more sustainable way of life?

[dryice100]

@adeleellie6

hmmm, thats interesting.. i didn't know that.. i thought that they are autonomous nuclear power source unit..

[unarisataviseppellir]

@adeleellie6 they can with energy from the sun, the wind, the sea currents, etc....

[adeleellie6]

@oetzi0000 Yes but nuclear power needs oil to generate it! Have a look at "collapse" by Michael Ruppert..

[adeleellie6]

@unarisataviseppellir Exactly - how are they gonna generate the electricity without oil?

[EBFilmsMan]

Coal is even dirtier than oil. Both need to go the way of the dinosaur. (Ironic that that's what they're made of, eh?)

@oetzi0000 We Russians already have several tens of dozens of plutonium 239/uranium 238-fuelled breeder and non-breeder BREST nuclear power plants on line while using thorium-uranium 233 light water breeder reactors to supplement their output. This is the reason why Russia, even outproducing Saudi Arabia, did not went on a spending/splurging spree, we re-invested all in nuclear power and in key critical strategic heavy industries of all kinds and vertically integrating them all completely.

[oetzi0000]

i believe that nuclear power will be used a lot more than ethanol or any other fuel
