I recently discovered the quite brilliant new 11 minute video animation "Wake Up, Freak Out, then Get a Grip". It's about the climate change side of the problem, rather than explicitly about peak oil, but I think the advice is well-judged there too! http://wakeupfreakout.org/

In terms of peak oil I recommend this 12 minute discussion from last month on BBC Radio 4 here in the UK, featuring Matt Simmons, Richard Heinberg and John Hemming (Chair of the UK All Party Parliamentary Group on Peak Oil and Gas). It picks up on both the issues of population and energy rationing as discussed in the videos above. As the BBC site only hosts the audio for a week after broadcast I have hosted it on my website: http://www.darkoptimism.org/Radio4.mp3

ps Scary to see just how troubled Matt is looking these days

Interesting! Thanks for posting these. I hope others watch / listen to them also.

No worries Gail - glad you found them interesting. The pick of the other links I've uncovered over the years are up at: http://www.darkoptimism.org/links.html

I get a lot of nice comments about the list, and you'll find you make an appearance there too :) I recommend exploring beyond just the peak oil section.
