A short History of oil

We agree with much of the video, but for their vision of the city of the future.

It's an impossible vision.

After peak-oil modern lifestyles will start crumbling. Big cities have no chance of survival. High speed trains will be a thing of the past.

The PostCarbon Institute is far too optimistic. We guess they have to since the somber realistic outlook doesn't sell books, when people realise it's no fantasy.

Give us your feedback!
