What happens when the world runs out of oil? It's a frightening phenomenon and unfortunately not a bit fictional.

Directors of the new eco-documentary A Crude Awakening: The Oil Crash (which has just been released in the UK) talk about the making of the movie that has been compared to Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth and got tongues waggling across the globe...

    • In Switzerland there is a law that allows the government to impose on all private land-owners, including gardens, and on all state-owned land, the cultivation of basic food crops. This means that food is grown by the people on every bit of available land, even in urban areas, which ensures a minimum balanced survival for the people. This was a law inspired by two world wars and the scarcities they brought on as well as the breakdown of international commerce and exchanges. The Swiss are generally fairly prudent people who see both short-term and long-term and possible crises of all kinds.

    • An Oil Crash would be the most devistating thing to happen to the world, but would be the best thing to happen to the human race after the fallout. I don't think it mean the end of the human race persay. There be an economic crash far worse then the "Great Depression." The good that would come from this is that the "oil companies" would be no more and technologies that we have on the back burner for renewable sources, such as cold fusion or hydrogen power, would be hard press and backed with whatever resources were left. Wars wouldnt be fought over oil like they are now-a-days, and after these new power sources are wide spread the economy would be stronger then ever and generally life would improve world-wide. Of course the first 20 years be the longest with probably a good deal of human casualities mostly in first world countries like USA, Great Britian and so forth.
