Crude Awakening

I seldom recommend movies, but I think Crude Awakening, a 2006 documentary about the oil situation, is so compelling, so comprehensive, so depressing, that we all ought to be aware of it. These guys use numbers to show how hard it will be to replace oil as a fuel, partly because oil is still very, very cheap. Here's a nice figure from the film: one barrel of oil contains enough energy to equal 25,000 man-hours of labor. If anyone else has see this movie, I'd appreciate comments.
