A Crude Awakening: The Oil Crash

In general documentaries tend to argue one side over another. And of course ‘A Crude Awakening: The Oil Crash‘ is an opinionated piece. But that is what documentaries do. They bring an under represented issue to attention and cause a stir to get movers and shakers roused up. This documentary does that well. It does not lie to you. It gives you the facts as they are. It is necessary.

And of course it does not strongly argue that there may be potential in finding oil reserves elsewhere. Why would it? That’s not the point. The point is that one day the resources will be depleted. The point is that we are too lazy to care and that one day there will be a ‘peak’. It may not be today and it may not be tomorrow. It may not even happen during our lifetime. But it is simply irresponsible to dismiss the fact that it will happen someday because we are too comfortable to find an alternative to something not affecting us today. But it is impending.

It is time to stop standing idly and embrace knowledge and education. Ignorance is no longer a luxury we can afford. ‘A Crude Awakening: The Oil Crash’ is an important film and a must see for everyone.
