For some reason, possibly the sepia and the post-victorian language, I am reminded of Robert Newman's History of Oil. Perhaps it's the reference to Oil being a primary reason for the frictions that started WWI.
Have you Oil Drummers seen it? Click the link above for the video - interesting, poignant and very funny - he covers the basic concepts and repercussions of peak oil in a accessible way. Absolutely worth watching.
Happy new year chaps.
Thank you for posting the link to "Newman's History of oil."
It's hilarious and informative and will hold people's attention spans longer than "end of suburbia" etc.
First post. Robert Newman's video was what brought peak oil to my attention last summer. I'd not heard the term before and following the links has been an eye-opener. The Oil Drum is now required daily reading for me, thanks to all involved for your hard work.
BTW has anyone spotted the Shell commercial currently running on Bloomberg TV? It cites the era of easily recoverable oil being over, and their development of a new 'snake' drill or pipe they use to reach hard to access pockets.
Robert Newman video:
I have enjoyed it.
Does anyone have a credible source or citation for his claim that Britain's first action in WWI involved Dorset Regiment's Second Batt doing something in Iraq? History records British assault on the Fao fortress near Basra in November 1914, well after the fun started in Europe.
I'ts an important point, but he's the only source I have for this.
