Has any one here seen the newish documentary called "The End of Suburbia"?
The website is http://www.endofsuburbia.com/
With all the excitemnt, and rightfully so, about the Wal Mart documentary I hadn't heard a peep about this stunner.
I just saw it over the weekend and it is very timely and speaks some pretty brutal truths to power. It is about peak oil and how cheap and abundant petroleum has fueled the growth of "The American Way of Life" - everything from urban planning, our consumption habits, how and what we eat and how we vote. The film interviews numerous former energy execs but they lean heavily on the acerbic James Kunstler...more
...who considers where we are regarding peak oil and the level of consciousness about it from world politicians to be an "impending clusterfuck and shitstorm mixed together".
Kunstler has lots of perceptive things to say as do the other sober energy analysts.
The film details fairly comprehensively about the connection to oil to the existence of not only the American way of life but also to modernized western world way of life. Truly a scary and seemingly complete picture of the implications of peak oil and the implications for the neccessary shift away from an oil centered future.
They rip hydrogen and ethanol and plenty of other things.
Cant reccomend it enough.
Has anyone seen it? Thoughts?
