I just finished watching a documentary titled "A Crude Awakening: The Oil Crash".
The film, documenting our society's addiction to oil because of it ease, availability, and inexpensive cost (all qualities of the oil industry that are quickly fading), is an extremely intelligent and moving work. I am again convinced that our inability to see the coming oil crisis could be our demise. Our society, built on cheap and readily available oil, must be completely re-imagined and re-engineered.
Since I can't include the whole film, I decided to post the first three minutes of the film found on YouTube. Let me know what you think.
A comprehensive, and somewhat controversial, look at the effects of the Big Oil Industry on us as consumers. How are the actions of the Big Oil Giants affecting us? How is the industry portrayed by media? How does this portrayal compare to statmements made by industry insiders and supporters? Can the "best of times" for the industry be the begining of the "worst of times" for us?
