The Oil Drum

On Feb. 9, linktv will be airing a special called The End of Oil that features the film Crude Impact. The film addresses the effects our pursuit of oil has had on the environment and explores some of the potential ramifications of Peak Oil. (Chris Vernon wrote a review of it in December, which can be seen here...thanks for the reminder Chris!)

During the airing of the program, there be an online discussion powered by Care2 at http://www.linktv.org/care2 with James Wood, director of the film, and oil experts like Richard Heinberg and Antonia Juhasz. They are going to talk about issues raised by the film and accept questions pertaining to oil depletion. It will take place on Feb. 9 from 9-11 p.m. ET and 6-8 p.m. PT.

They are hoping to get the word out about the discussion to people that might be interested. They are anticipating a lively and engaging discussion, and would love to have knowledgeable people who can contribute to a broader understanding of the topic participate, so if you are so inclined tomorrow night, go over and fly the TOD flag.

Under the fold are a couple of clips from the film and an example of some of what they will be talking about.
