Viewing Notes

Just finished watching one hell of a frightening documentary: THE END OF SUBURBIA: Oil Depletion and the Collapse of The American Dream. It really blew me away. It’s not scary as in horror/violent etc. It’s scary b/c it outlines the early demise of modern civilization as we know it. And that’s hella more frightening than some half-baked horror flick, Asian or otherwise.

In a nutshell, EoS describes the Oil Peak dilemma, leading up to it and the likely outcome, which is pretty dismal. besides revealing the problem w/oil production and dwindling energy resources and all the mistakes that have been made along the way, the movie also discusses the problems w/alternate energy and fuel sources. and it calls out many of the culprits from past and present that are responsible for what surely will be another potential economic depression and ongoing war-state world. seriously, this little documentary is an eye opener.
