Great video. The more our policy makers move to green alternatives the better. You mention that this is just a feel good story and I would suggest that it is. As you mention they are "planning" on another million people. This is unacceptable. What sort of time frames are these people thinking? 50 years? 100 years? We have to start "planning" to reduce this population not cater for its increases.

I am relatively new to TOD however have done a lot of research into Peak Oil. I am still bewildered as to why more people do not see the coming situation. There is two main pieces of information that easily show our current oil situation. The graph of past discovery peaking in the 1960's and declining ever since and the Megaprojects Analysis. Put those together and you have the basis for a very nasty situation. Combine that with an unsustainable monetary supply that requires growth to pay the interest, a capitalistic environment that requires growth where resources are not well allocated due to its competitive nature and a population explosion it does not take a rocket scientist to work out our current predicament.

I am currently in the process of trying to convince family and close friends to move out to a property and start re-skilling.

I personally think video is the best means for communicating peak oil. Currently I am looking to show the following to those that I want around me:

• Arithmetic, Population & Energy
• A Crude Awakening The Oil Crash
• What a way to go: Life at end of empire http://www.whatawaytogomovie.com/
• Money as debt http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-9050474362583451279
• How Cuba Survived Peak Oil
• The End of Suburbia

Can I ask other TOD'ers to suggest what they see as the best of the best when it comes to this topic?

Thanks in advance.
