One of the points that affected my perspective the most was their comparison between the price of gas and other liquids. I never really considered that while the $3/gal for gas seems way high it is still less than the price of bottled water, milk, and some juices. Sure makes you realize just how much we have taken cheap fuel for granted.

I spent EarthDay watching this movie. It was eye-opening and a nice complement to a book I’m reading Lives Per Gallon.

The movie raises some fascinating points about how human lifestyle and prosperity will alter when we are faced with expensive energy. I thought the idea interesting that today’s current excessive, prosperous lifestyle is is just an aberrant blip on the course of human history….and that we’d revert back to a more feudal existence when energy gets more expensive. The movie doesn’t pack the punch of An Inconvenient Truth but is still worth renting.

Did it say when we would run out?

Also, I fee like there is a greater push toward different sources of energy these days. Does the documentary take this into account?

I'm looking forward to seeing this documentary when opportunity allows. Your readers may enjoy getting a taste of it from the movie trailer.

Tim – great point! When you here the phrase “ups production” you automatically think that more is being made, which obviously isn’t the case with oil.

I agree this these sentiments, the media has a responsibility to portray oil as a fixed asset not a renewable resource. The phrase “OPEC ups production” is incorrect it should be OPEC ups extraction, you cant produce more crude oil it is a finite resource there is no production here its like gold you can mine more gold but you cant make (produce) more gold.
