Addicted to Oil

July 30th, 2008

Good Magazine produced this politically charged, entertaining, and interesting youtube video about the state of the world, our demands for oil, and the dramatic increases to the cost of living in a world thirsty for energy.

If we’re addicted to oil, our twelve-step program should begin with admitting that we have a problem. As the price of oil creeps higher, finding new energy sources is more important than ever. But the search for alternatives, combined with environmental disruptions, is putting new pressures on other essentials like food. There are some things that are going well in the world. Right now, the economy is not one of them.

Hit play or watch Oil Addiction on YouTube.

    So how is the Canadian economy holding up under pressure?

    Cost of living?
    Employment?

    I thought the boom would last until after the Olympics but now I’m not so sure.

    Luckily life is really about the simple things eh?

    Everyone should watch this. Corn is not the answer. Sugar Cane is ten times more efficient, and the grains are becoming non existent, it scares me. I liked this video. I wonder if droughts in australia are any better for this past years crops? i know they are major exporters of grains aswell.
