[Grovenet] Peak Oil movies - past, future

[Alana Graham]

Ha. Ha. There is always carpooling.....

The movie, "Crude Awakening: The Oil Crash", was very
good, rather long but got the point of peak oil
across. A better movie for the novice to this subject
is "The End of Suburbia" which one may actually rent
from Blockbuster. Both are very worth while and
informative.

The folks who presented the movie can be checked out
at their website: www.washingtoncountypeakoil.org. 
They have lists of books to read, websites to visit
and other info.

They also have a list of events through September but
are doing another movie showing in August, on 8/14/07.
 The movie, "The Power of Community: How Cuba
Survivied Peak Oil" shows how Cuba has managed to
survive without oil.

See details below:
