siftbotsays...Moving this video to Fedquip's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 3 days.

siftbotsays...Sending this video to Beggar's Corner to plea for a little attention - beg requested by original submitter Fedquip.
nibiyabisays...It won't be a "shock" like they're describing, as in, "oh noes, it's all gone now!". It will be a gradual decline in the economic viability of using oil as we move toward nuclear, the only viable clean power source for the future.
10616says...Thanks, Fedquip, for submitting this video! It's talking about the WORLD WITHOUT OIL alternate reality game, a serious "What if??" game for the public good that won the Activism award at the 2008 South by Southwest Interactive conference. WWO punctured a lot of pollyanna balloons, which unfortunately includes scenarios such as nibiyabi's. For nuclear to replace oil, we would have to have started a huge number of nuclear power plants some years ago and begun a move to mass transit. Obviously, that hasn't happened in the US and I see no signal that it ever will - in advance of a crisis, that is.
