                        Crude Impact
                        It took hundreds of millions of years for petroleum to form on Earth; it took just 150 years for humans to bleed the planet of roughly half of this oil.  Crude Impact examines the catastrophic prospect of “world peak oil”,  the moment at which the global petroleum supply begins to irreversibly decline.  This program examines the reasons behind this decline, its effect and the vicious cycle of escalating dependency.
