The greatest horror movie was just released. It’s the greatest because it’s catastrophically real and its narrative is about our immediate future. “A Crude Awakening: The Oul Crash” is a documentary about the end of the today's easy and extremely cheap oil (America’s price is less than a bottle of water cost… How come?).
Following a list of some of the movie’s celebrities:
Abdul Samad Al-Awasi – Kuwaiti Oil Consultant
Fadhi Chalabi – Former Secretary-General of OPEC and Iraqi Oil Minister
Luis E. Giusti – Former CEO of PDVSA
Colin Campbell – www.peakoil.net
This crisis is close and will affect each one of us. The explosion in population and transport, as well in technologic, habitation, medical care, and etc. observed in the last four decades would be unthinkable without the Oil. The world population doubled from 3 billion people in 1961 to 6 billion in 2000. Now we’re 6,5 billion approaching 9 billion in 2050.
On the other hand, the demand of these new inhabitants is so far larger than the previous one. And everything has Oil behind. As Bush said in 2006: “We have a serious problem: America is addicted to Oil”.
As like you, I also believe in the human ingeniosity and inventiveness. Though, unfortunately there is no imagined or developed solution to minimize this situation. It doesn’t exist. Even worse, if we started now to put our energetic plants to generate energy we couldn’t supply the actual energy demand (without the Oil). Who have seen politicians take actions before the problems happens? Rarely do they take corrective actions. The problem is passed to the next generation. And the OPEC thinks about the actual budget.
Anyway, who wants to know about it? I’m asking myself if someone read until this point... Prepare yourselves for 2020 (13 years from now??) we will be paying approximately $ 300 dollars per oil barrel, four times more than the current $70. Everything will be much more expensive. In a few years only some will be able to drive a car or travel by airplane if we don’t react and find a solution.
This is the nature applying the dialectic of theses and antitheses resulting in a syntheses. And the regression is painful.
