The End of Suburbia
This movie was based on a documentary
that discusses the oil and natural gas deficiency that we are creating and how
the world needs a wakeup call on how scares the resources are. It discussed how the suburban lifestyle began
by the idea of being in the country, and now that we look at it there is no
country around it and seems to be named after what used to be there. I believe
they stated that the first suburbia was started for our solders so that they
had a home to come to where they could have their family and a wife at home,
and from there it became a place that is not the country anymore you could
drive like 150 miles from one place to another and not see any country just suburbia’s
and industrial businesses. Oil used to be very inexpensive and there was a time
where we were just trying to find ways to use it. This documentary talked about GM (with other
companies) buying out the transit and taking them out so that people were
forced to buy their cars. Also how will
we get all the resources that we have sent overseas if we run out of oil and natural
gases there will be no transportation and will we have the mean here to continue?
This documentary was very enlightening
and concerning at the same time. It makes me wonder why the concern is not in
the media and why we are not allowing everyone to know of the situation. I believe that the movie was done around 2004
time frame, it is now 2012 and nothing has changed. What is being done or what
do we need to do to help keep the world a good place for our children. It
really makes you think and consider things that we have been taking for granted
for so long. Before this documentary I didn’t know what peak oil was: where you
at their time when you are pulling the most oil that you will right before it decline.
How long do we have before it begins to decline and are we going to be ready
for it? It scares me to think that the blackout that occurred
in 2003 has not been talked about much, nor is anything being done so that it
does not happen again. Look what happened when the storm Sandy hit, and all
those people had no power I think that everyone needs to take a good look and
be scares with our resources and be aware that something like this could happen
that we could soon have no natural gas nor oil and how are we as well as others
going to react.
I agree. I think that if it is that much of a consern that it should be brought up in the media. I did not know it was that much of a consern. I was shocked after watching that movie and seeing how there is a shortage and we are on the downfall of natural resources.
