Please help us to make it a reality.

A little late if peak oil indeed happen back in 2005 as Jeff Brown has insisted, and funding for this might face a head wind in light of the current flood of oil on the market, with no end in sight to shale development globally, but still, a wonderful promo!

I think Nelson has done a great job on the promo. Now he needs some help making the film a reality. We have a lot of footage, but we need to organize it into a film that will interest not just us "peakists", but a wider audience.
What do you think?
My heating oil savings are paying for a Disney trip
http://money.cnn.com/2016/02/22/news/ec ... -stack-dom
If you had any doubt about whether lower oil prices are benefiting American households, then you probably aren't one of the 6.5 million homeowners who use heating oil.
Nationwide, the average price of heating oil has fallen to around $2 a gallon, half the price it was at in early 2014. Natural gas has dropped even more.
It's all been precipitated by the dramatic collapse of crude oil prices from over $100 a barrel two years ago to about $30 today.
For homeowners like Matt Coffy, who owns a small advertising business in New Jersey, it's been a windfall.
On a snowy afternoon earlier this month, he welcomed the heating oil delivery guy with open arms. The price per gallon on this day: just $1.52. He dug out an older bill from April 2013 when it was $3.45.
"I mean down to $1.50 is just insane," says Coffy. "(Heating oil prices are) not a concern anymore, it's a regular bill."
With a 1,000-gallon tank to refill every few months, he estimates he's saving up to $10,000 per year. He plans to reinvest some of those savings in his business and perhaps hire more people. He's also taking his kids, Sean, 11, and Kristen, 9, on a surprise trip to Disneyland.
What a difference a year makes -- this time last year he was planning to sell his second car, a gas-guzzling 2005 Nissan Armada. Now he's hanging onto it. It helps that he's also paying less for gasoline at the pump.
The Coffys are doing exactly what many economic experts want them to -- Spending the money they save from lower oil prices. .....

pstarr wrote:Yes AdamB, "Jeff" isn't an engineer, he is a professional petroleum geologist. I stand corrected.

Meanwhile I spent the last week sugaring, getting exercise and getting ready for production of a product that might be useful if the world goes to hell. We will be able to put it stuff, trade with it etc. Who doesn't like maple syrup? If the world is going to go down we may as well have pancakes for a little while...
Revi wrote:Meanwhile we are getting the film together. Any input? I think it will be an amusing look at this kooky guy who is obsessed with peak oil. I have even offered to not talk about peak oil to anyone who donates $100. My wife took me up on that offer immediately! All she has to say is kickstarter and I'll stop talking about peak oil immediately. Not a bad deal for her!
