Post-oil

Our selection of videos on this month's theme: Post-oil Futures.

 

Aftermath: World Without Oil

What would our world look like if we ran out of oil? The lifeblood of our high-tech, highly mobile world won't last forever. Watch one scenario of what happens when one day oil does run out. How might our world change and how would we adapt? Aftermath follows the chaotic days and months after this catastrophic event through dramatic re-creations and CGI animation. Find out how we might cope as food disappears, electrical power fails and winter turns the big cities into isolated pockets of concrete and glass. What will be more important to our survival — the technology to develop new sources of energy, or a change to a more sustainable way of life?

ASPO South Africa

EcoDoc Africa in collaboration with the Association for the Study of Peak Oil (ASPO) South Africa produced this three part video documentary on Peak Oil and South Africa - Impacts and Mitigation. Presented by Jeremy Wakeford of ASPO South Africa, the presentation outlines what the phenomenon called Peak Oil is all about, and what it means for us here in South Africa.

 

Peak Oil and South Africa Part 1 of 3
In Part 1, Jeremy outlines our "addiction" to oil, and details three assumptions that we have about oil -- namely business as usual will prevail, that there is plenty of oil left, and markets will solve the problem of depletion. For each assumption, Jeremy provides a reality check.

In Part 2 of Peak Oil and South Africa - Impacts and Mitigation, Jeremy Wakeford continues to detail our erroneous assumptions about oil and its substitutes, and shows us how we are heading for a reality check mate. This is followed by an analysis of the global and South African implications of Peak Oil. EcoDoc Africa in collaboration with the Association for the Study of Peak Oil (ASPO) South Africa produced this three part video documentary.

Part 3 focuses on how we can respond to the challenges of Peak Oil. Jeremy Wakeford argues that our society must urgently embark on a 'sustainability mobilisation' that revolutionises our energy, transport and industrial systems, underpinned by a shift in values to reflect environmental realities. He suggests practical responses that can be taken by government, businesses and individuals. He concludes with a reminder that Peak Oil is NOW, that the impacts will intensify, and that proactive mitigation can ease the inevitable transition to sustainability.
