All the dum-dums are too arrogant to admit that Cuba did it right by moving over to urban market gardens. They think they are above re-greening the cities, cause 'monkeys' don't like being reminded they are still just naked apes - they try to distance themselves from nature....it's very sad.

..theres no such thing as " Peak oil " the so-called experts are regularly wrong [ the world was due to run out in 1990 hahahaha ] besides soon cars will not use much oil. biofuels make up a tiny fraction of food production tho there is a local effect. Capitalism means only a quarter of the world is poor as opposed to %99 poverty.

You can purchase the DVD at PeakMoment (dot) tv website. Sometimes people have public showings in their community -- often sponsored by a peak oil awareness or transition kind of group. HopeDance Films might have a rentable copy hopedance (dot) org. It's really inspiring.

I hope people take this with a grain of salt. How can someone who has been to Cuba for 10 days call herself an expert. People are starving in Cuba and have to hunt for food in the garage. The Government of Cuba would love for all to see Cuba in this glorious light but its not the reality. People are starving and suffering we need to help them. This is coming from someone who lived in Cuba for 24 years. The real expert.
The film "The Power ... ( 1 month ago por peakmoment)
The film "The Power of Community" doesn't claim that all of Cuba's food security problems were solved. Simply that when the oil ended, there were permaculturists who'd been marginalized, and they had methods for quickly growing food in cities and elsewhere. Reduced the starvation levels quickly.
What counts is: how ... ( 1 month ago por peakmoment)
What counts is: how much energy would it take us to get it, and how much would we get back for our investment? If it takes 2 barrels of oil to get back 1.5 barrels worth of equivalent energy, it's a net loss not worth doing.

Peakmoment--This is truth:The US government has suppressed non-poluting energy since the 1890's. The US government is suppressing that technology today. They call it disruptive technology. Research that and teach others.

The US government looks green to extort more money from the oil cartells. It is a con game that plays both sides. The greener the US government looks and acts the more money the oil companies pay to pass legislation.

Take a look at the work of retired oil geologist Colin Campbell: there are physical limits to this non-renewable resource, and we seem to be approaching the limits. Not that we will run out of oil, but that it will cease to be cost-effective. It'll take more energy to get a barrel than we get back. Then the game is over, cartels and governments regardless.
Horrors, no! ... ( 1 month ago por peakmoment)
Horrors, no! However, if we humans (like any animal population) exceed the carrying capacity of our landbase, our numbers will drop. Beyond capacity = less food = fewer humans fed = lower population.
The question will be whether we find a humane way to reduce our numbers or let nature do the culling. There are plenty of inhumane ways for humans to reduce the populations, and we see it happening worldwide.

I don't think Cuba is a very good model. Cuba imports over 80% of its food. It wasn't always that way...

Open your mind... forget your anti Castro politics. The film portrays Cuba after the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early nineties NOT Cuba from 1959 to 1991.

Yes indeed, it is safe to say that at least in the last 100 years, the human population grew from 1 billion to 7 billion inhabitants.
Just like the peak oil, the peak of population will fall as well. Much because there isn't gonna be enough land for everyone to plant crops, there will not be frankein fertilizers, because they use oil components, and if oil becomes expensive, so will the fertilizers, and also, because people disconnected themselves from the land.

@weslingm
well, knowing that the peak oil has been predicted from more than half a decade, and the peak oil already turned in the 70's. But I don't think they really want to raise prices like that, otherwise, when people don't have money to use oil to sustain their way of life, a similar scenario like greece can happen all over the globe. Why do you think the state police is for. State police is usually used in fascist regimes, and is a fascist derivative...
@weslingm ... ( 1 day ago por RicardoDNPereira)
@weslingm euthanized? I'm very sure he is not advocating euthanasia. He is just witnessing euthanasia... Well I would put it euthanasia, but if you take a look at the grown of the population in the last 100 years, with the advent of oil, it's a pretty scary growth. Bigger than mount everest!!! (to be ironic)
So, people don't actually have to call for euthanasia, nature itself, and laws of thermal and dynamic energy already founded the laws. Now the thing is survive or perish...

Another Film I would like to suggest, and this guy talks in a more general way, is called "Collapse". From late 2009. Very recent.
Also I would advise you to subscribe to the blog of michael rupert. the interviewed.

If you support abortion rights you supported killing over 50 million defenseless children in the womb. NAZI's were evolutionists and also supported abortion. Do you believe in evolution? Wake up sheep!
