Crudely Crude Awakening

Certainly learned a lot, and I get the message, we are in deep shit, we are running out of oil and there is almost no political leadership or practical alternatives.

Oil is amazing, it is cheap for the work that it can do and this has driven the world economy more than any other single thing. 70% of oil product is used in transportation. Around about now (2007) oil production is peeking and the way it declines is unclear. Quickly, slowing who knows.

The result may well be war, depression and worse

This movie was crudely done, constantly being bombarded with facts and predictions and reminders of the short life expectancy of hydro carbon man. (http://www.lifeaftertheoilcrash.net/). Deliberately pessimistic, hopeless and depressing.
