The Peak Oil Debate

ASPO-Ireland

In clear and easy-to-understand terms, veteran petroleum geologist, Colin Campbell explains Peak Oil, the basics of petroleum geology, how the reserves are measured and the vital concept of "reserve back-dating." He also talks about how oil affects and inflames geo-politics, and talks about the prospects of such lesser known but vital oil giants as Russia and Canada, and explains the unhelpful role of free market economics in hastening oil and gas depletion.

Richard Heinberg gives a compelling, chapter by chapter synopsis of his new book Powerdown: Options and Actions for a Post-Carbon World. In addition, he is interviewed in depth by David Room, and as a special DVD-only bonus, Richard reads an excerpt from Powerdown.

Same as the regular DVD, but in a lighter, more environmentally-friendly package. Instead of a plastic case, each DVD is packaged in a cardboard sleeve with no shrink-wrap.
