Big Thanks for posting this, AC--I am glad you are more computer savvy than I am.  Seeing this film segment scares the Hell out of me because it was made so long ago, yet seems to exactly predict what lies ahead as we go postPeak!

Bob, you want prescient and scary, watch the opening 5 minutes of "The Road Warrior"...the old second part installment of the Mel Gibson "Mad Max" trilogy. It starts with newsreel style clips of the fall of civilization/global war as oil supplies dry up. Great film too, if you enjoy action movies.

As i recall the very next scene has the protanganist, (notice I don't call him the "hero") a young mel gibson, fighting and killing for a rusty hubcap's worth of gasoline. very prophetic. The entire movie concerns a oil-tanker load of  . . . sand
