I spent the better part of last week traveling to Los Angeles on business. Julia and Katie came with me so we decided to drive and turn it into a mini vacation. As we drove down I-5 and then onto the 405 in Los Angeles I could not help but think about what that place would be like after we run out of gas. I really try not to dwell in negative stuff like this but I think it’s important to understand the issue and then turn to positive actions.
I found this great documentary on YouTube produced by ABC Science. Most of the Peak Oil stuff you’ll find online is heavily biased with survivalism and end of the world fear mongering. The net effect of this fear-based communication strategy is that the general public turns a blind eye to the issue. This is a problem if Peak Oil is upon us because too many people will be caught off guard.
I’m not going to blab on about my personal take on Peak Oil. Instead I’m going to encourage you to watch this documentary. Below are all the segments.
Wow, thanks for sharing. I’ve seen many documentaries on this subject but I had not seen this one. When Tammy and I meet you for tea and such we will have to give you our copy of John Michael Greer’s “The long decent” if you haven’t read it already
. His book was the most rational and level headed perspective I’ve read on the subject. 
If you get time, check out Jania and Robyn’s interview of him at the Sacramento ASPO conference last summer for a preview of his book: http://www.wordpress.peakmoment.tv/conversations/?p=252
Thanks Logan. Yeah it’s hard to separate the paranoia from the reality sometimes… but this documentary seemed to do the topic justice.
I’ve not read that book. Thanks! I’ll check that link too.
Thanks Again!
Michael
