I was flipin around through Netflix today and decided to watch a documentary called "Collapse", by Michael Ruppert. He used to be a cop and then journalist who uncovered many different govenment and cia coverups. He theorizes that the downfall of modern day civilization lies on the fact that we heavily rely on fossil fuels to fuel our world.

As we all know, fossil fuels A.K.A petroleum is a limited resource, meaning that it WILL end eventually and according to Mr. Ruppert we are past our peak of world wide oil production. This is quite alarming considering that even though there are other energy sources available like Ethanol and Solar Energy (among many others) none of these will be able to come close to replacing petroleum; which is an essential ingredient in many of the products and materials we need, not just gasoline.

Everything from transportation, raw material, energy supply, food, water, etc. relies on Oil for it to function and get to our houses properly. The population has reached such a number that without oil millions would die of starvation, disease, and crime. And those who are left will be living like we used to back in the 19th century, forget about cell phones, personal computers, internet, etc. everything we have come to enjoy and incorporate into our daily lives will be heavily impacted by the consequences of Oil shortage.

Here's a link to the first 40 minutes of the documentary for those who want to watch it
