The End of Suburbia: Oil Depletion and the Collapse of the American Dream

From Google Video

Apparently we are running out of oil. And there is nothing we can do about it. We are down a path that is unreversable. One would think that we could come up with someother solution. But we can't. We're too entrenched with out lifestyles. We can't turn back!

It really drives home the point and consecuences of running out of oil. It's not just as easy of a fix just switching over to hydrogen. That hydrogen has to get created somehow.

Quote From the Movie:
"We are headed for a shit storm"

"It's a wonderful prospect... All you need is electricity and water... Where are you gong to get that electricity? That electricity has got to get created somehow?!? Usually by natural gas or oil. What are you going to do when it runs out?!" "How are you going to transport your food? Ethanol?? You would have to grow so much corn that there wouldn't be room to grow our food!"

The smart man would go and buy some open land out in Montana and set up a wind farm or something. Just build the house underground, grow the food on top in between your windmills and pump sunlight into you cave with fiber-optics... That is if you can figure out how to make fiber without fuel...

Fuck is that depressing... Actually, it's only depressing at first thought. The aftermath might just be a utopia...


Eventually.
