Some films relevant to renewable energy and associated issues

A CRUDE AWAKENING: THE OIL CRASH (Trailer)

Oil is running out, and nobody is ready for the cataclysm that is bound to follow is the message of this film, says Producer Basil Gelpke. 98% of the world's transport depends on oil - as well as modern industrialised agriculture. This compelling and intelligent documentary shows in graphic detail how our industrial society, built on cheap and readily available oil must be completely re-imagined and overhauled.

Shot on location at oil fields in Azerbaijan, Venezuela, the Middle East and Texas, with original music by Daniel Schnyder and Philip Glass, the film provides not only questions, but possible solutions to the most perplexing and important economic, environmental and public policy issue of our time. The film has won numerous rewards.
