DVD cover for "Energy Crossroads"

We all no doubt remember earlier in the summer when oil prices rose day on day and the price increase pain was felt at the petrol pump. Brent Crude has now come down from $140+ per barrel to $60 + per barrel and the prices have crawled down at fuel stations however the summer crisis gave us an insight into a future in which energy demand exceeds easy, cheap energy supply.

'Energy Crossroads' looks deeply and objectively at our use of and dependence on energy. It traces the history of our society since the Industrial Revolution and makes very clear that without cheap energy - primarily petroleum - the industrialised society in which we live could never have existed.

But these issues are the business of governments and major corporations right? Not necessarily.

'Energy Crossroads' does not simply dwell on how we got here and the potentially grim future that awaits us. Importantly it offers concrete solutions for all of us and provides an insight into how we can be part of the solutions right now.
