For anyone who has Time Warner Cable, on the Free Movies On Demand channel (it is channel 503 in my area) there is a movie on peak oil called Crude Impact. Has anyone else seen it? Any feedback on it? I think you can also view it free online somewhere, as well as on the Sundance Channel.

From the movie's official website: "Crude Impact is an award-winning documentary film which Chris Vernon of TheOilDrum.com called ' a terrific film... the best documentary I have seen on the subject.' This feature film explores the interconnection between human domination of the planet, and the discovery and use of oil."
Quote of the Day: Oil & Recessions
ReplyDeletehttp://bigpicture.typepad.com/comments/2008/06/quote-of-the--1.html
"Nothing has been a more reliable indicator for an upcoming recession as the price of Oil. Every major bear market, every major economic decline has been preceded by a large spike in oil prices. The 73-74 recession, recession of beginning 80's and the recession of 2000. Oil prices jumped 80% between 1999 and 2000. Oil prices have been the most important indicator of major economic disasters. Whenever Oil prices rise about 80% from year ago levels, a fair chance does exist that a recession/bear market will follow."
-Stephen Leeb
High oil prices are due to speculation? Bah! Humbug!

Johnt, I've seen the trailers for this one and it looks truly excellent.
ReplyDeleteIsn't there supposed to be a sequel to END OF SUBURBIA in the works, too? (As many here know, MCR spoke briefly in that original film).
jjr, there was a sequel released last year called Escape From Suburbia.
