 One of the best environmental/political/social movies ever made May 9, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I work on a number of environmental projects and I have purchased at least 15 copies of this movie already to give to corporate decision makers and other executives. It is the most concise, balanced and articulate overview I have found on the Peak Oil issue. I can't expand much on the other reviews, except to say that this should be mandatory viewing for high school students...and the majority of adults in American who aren't even familiar with the term 'peak oil' yet. If everyone in the US could spare a couple of hours to watch this movie, I'm certain that it would take our national energy conversation to a whole new level.
 Just short of 5 stars... April 21, 2008

While this movie is epic in it's ability to scare the pants off just about any oil-loving American it comes up short on it's ability to provide any sound solutions to our energy woes. While oil is indeed running out, it has been since the 1930's when the worries of this crisis first arose. While the movie makes some good points it leans heavily on the alarmist's side of view without injecting the reality of free markets and the resilience of humans to overcome the greatest of difficulties. I give it four stars since the masses need a huge dose of reality to wake up to what is truly a problem if we continue to ignore it.
Extremely well done! February 22, 2008

This documentary does a wonderful job of presenting the topic of 'peak oil'. I highly recommend you buy a copy and send it to every politician you can.
Totally engaging, shocking and depressing February 18, 2008

This should be compulsory viewing for every Westerner. If I could summarize without screaming 'You're doomed', check out this scenario:
Oil was produced once during a brief moment in Earth's history. There is no more. It's not being produced continuously. We're used almost all of it in 100 years, in everything from gas to plastics to cosmetics. We have no intention of slowing our use or handling the shortage that happens in the next decade.
Did you catch the last bit? THE NEXT DECADE. And nobody contests this version of events. We're walking straight off the edge of a cliff and nobody wants to address the problem.
So back to my initial review: "WE'RE DOOMED!".
Climate In Peril February 6, 2008
I was rather hoping that there would be some sort of way out of this mess, but we have crossed the point of no return.
