Denial Stops Here

Michael Rupert talks about post 9/11 and peak-oil. The DVD's are available from purchase here.

Peak Oil - Imposed by Nature

ASPO is a network of concerned scientists predicting a world wide energy crisis of unprecedented proportions. They are working to raise awareness of the serious consequences this will have for humans. Vested interests and other forces have done their utmost to prevent the information from reaching the public consciousness.

The Power of Community

The Community Solution is an organisation exploring the peak oil crisis. Its focus is on local community-based solutions that reflect the values of cooperation, conservation and curtailment. This documentary focusses on Cuba, a nation which has already had to deal with their own peak-oil crisis as they were cut off from all foreign resources including oil and foreign investments.

The End is Nigh

Peter Lloyd gives a good lecture on the peak-oil implications from a New Zealand perspective.

Growth

The greatest shortcoming of the human race is our inability to understand the exponential function -Albert Bartlett

Albert Bartlett links the growth of population growth as the fundamental factor influencing energy consumption. The video Arithmetic, Population, and Energy covers expeonential increases with examples in population growth, energy growth and peak oil theory.
