The movie OilCrash! Premiered today in Austin, TX. (Note: The link to the article about Roscoe Bartlett in the film referenced by Prof Goose seems to be invalid.) I personally attended the Premier. It was excellent! The film is absolutely on target with the current state of oil depletion and the implications this presents.

The Producers were stunned at an audience of nearly 400 of which more than one third stayed after to participate in a Q&A session with them, David Room of Post Carbon Institue, Matt Savinar, and a representative of CrudeAwakening, an Austin-based oil awareness group. This was a far larger audience than had been anticipated.

The film will screen twice more this coming week in Austin. Look for the reviews.

Peak Oil Primers

“Of all races in an advanced stage of civilization, the American is the least accessible to long views… Always and everywhere in a hurry to get rich, he does not give a thought to remote consequences; he sees only present advantages… He does not remember, he does not feel, he lives in a materialist dream.”

—Moiseide Ostrogorski (1902, 302-303)
