The End of Suburbia


This is quite a film. I just watched The End of Suburbia: Oil Depletion and the Collapse of the American Dream (2004) over two (distracted) nights at a friends house, but the message was clear. And I feel like I finally "get" peak oil, I keep hearing blurbs about peak oil, but I never understood its impact, and how it will affect us long before we run out of oil, until I watched this film. It also had me invisioning the not-so-distant future where all these expensive suburban developments will be ghost towns. The film seems to think the implications will be much more severe than just very expensive ghost towns, but you'll just have to watch it and decide for yourself.
