Crude Awakening achieves it's goal
This is an excellent documentary/expose. Some of the above comments mentioned that it was not thorough enough exploring the alternatives.
I disagree to that being a flaw. I did not feel alt energy was the films objective. It was merely touched on as not being explored as much as it should be at this stage in our "Carbon-based man" evolution.
Alternative solutions is another extensive subject of many other documentaries and TV shows or another subject matter beyond the point presented here.
And this point is long overdue to be put to the public, it was presented engagingly well in this film.
The earlier reference to "3 Days of the Condor" is true (one of my old favs) and it proves that we were aware of the problem way back then, yet we continue to ignore it in the political main stage.
