I personally believe in peak oil and that it is here. But there are other factors to consider when talking about the subject, in terms of our world economy. While oil is a main ingredient in running nearly everything. There are still other factors. This article I was reading explains this idea. Its called Energy Q&A Part I: Peak Oil and Oil Price Spikes and really gave me a better idea what peak oil really means. Its more than just what what peak oil, the issue is what it means for the world. Check it out. Thanks!

who claim they are rapidly being forced out of business by high fuel prices

Who by, I wonder? Rail? Donkeys? Haulage needs won’t go away overnight, except for very short periods.

The movie you are thinking of is “The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil” by a group called “Community Solutions”

Good information about what it will take to meet the coming challenges.

While this article is good, it could go much further. The US may be merely getting a “glimpse” of oil alternatives, but Cuba has already faced the problem due to oil embargoes. I encourage you to read into this and the steps the country had to take. I know there is a video out there and I wish I had the time to find the name.

If the US or other “developed” nations were to put more effort into developing the same trends that Cuba has the results could possibly be outstanding.
