Synopsis:
OilCrash examines the state of the world's dwindling oil resources and finds that we're running out of fossil fuels much sooner than anticipated. Industry leaders and scientists such as Matt Simmons, Colin Campbell, Sheikh Yamani, Fadhil Chalabhi and David Goodstein lend insights into the dire consequences the world is facing as it moves from cheap abundant energy supply to scarce, inaccessible and expensive energy.
