Don’t worry, just a little bump - $70 is just around the corner. Short traders just keep making those margin calls, mortgage the house if you have to. Fortunes await you! PO is for pansies and doomers. At $70 short some more ..... it is going back to $22 .... the world is awash with oil ........ reality has nothing to do with it, its all in those charts!!!!!!!!!!
The 2004 documentary, "End Of Suburbia", produced and edited by Barry Silverthorn and written and directed by Greg Greene, was a stunning and chilling cinematic landmark which placed the issue of Peak Oil and its consequences squarely on the world stage and connected the dots between the unsustainable suburban lifestyle and perilous issues of the twenty-first century such as food production, population die-off, and economic meltdown. Recently, Greene and producer, Dara Rowland, have released the sequel, "Escape From Suburbia" which examines the journeys of several individuals who have fled or are in the process of fleeing from civilization. It highlights how they are building new lives and new subcultures which offer the possibilities of deepened humanity and sustainability. Unlike "End Of Suburbia", "Escape" spends less time interviewing the usual Peak Oil experts and follows the escape routes of ordinary people who are passionate about removing themselves from a culture of over-consumption and extinction.

Fantastic movie.
"End of Suburbia" introduces the problem of peak oil. "Escape from Suburbia" tells us what we can do about it.
I've been down in the dumps for the last couple years, ever since I started reading about peak oil. But a month ago, I saw Escape from Suburbia, and it had a profound effect on me. It was the only thing I'd seen in those two years that actually inspired me to go out and start preparing my own little corner of the world for a post-peak future.
The week after I saw the movie, I started my first garden. It was an immensely positive experience for me, and I finally feel optimistic about my future.
Of course, I don't expect Escape will have such a personal impact on everyone who sees it. But I believe that my experience was the film maker's intended effect. It is an emotional, motivational movie. Light on information, but for those of us familiar with the issue, it's a big kick in the pants to get out there and start making a difference in our own little corner of the world.
