The Daily Show with John Stewart - Oil Spil

Via Deristricted :
"Funny but also disturbing, as you will see in the below must see clip, it is clear there is NO alternative to petroleum otherwise SOMETHING would have happened to transition away from this addiction. Nothing cheap and abundant to replace the over 6000 products which petroleum is used for. No cheap and abundant alternative for the life blood of modern civilisation. Why as we head forward it is a zero sum game from here on out. If china and the developing countries grow, the more developed countries will have to do with less, and once we come off this bumpy plateau of oil production we have been on since 2005, and start a faster decline, we will all have to do with less. Unless there is some as of yet unseen, unknown miracle alternative, but as the Hirsch report noted, any transition would have to happen 10 years before a global oil peak to prevent a serious collapse"
