This is an interesting film about peak oil, peak gas and suburbia. What the experts in this documentary got wrong is their claim peak natural gas was happening at the time this film was made mid-last decade. In their defense, what was noticeably missing was the word "fracking" in their interviews. Fracking is a new drilling process which has revolutionized the gas and oil drilling industry in the USA since 2008-2009.

 

Still, one wonders how supporters of gas and oil drillers in the USA - who use fracking to open up fissures in rock thousands of feet below the surface to allow trapped oil and gas to come to the surface - are able to continue ignoring growing environmental concerns.
