vue - The Power of Community - How Cuba Survived Peak Oil
PLEASE CHECK OUT THE Public Film Channel on youtube When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1990, Cuba's economy went into a tailspin. With imports of oil cut by more than half and food by 80 percent people were desperate. This film tells of the hardships and struggles as well as the community and creativity of the Cuban people during this difficult time. Cubans share how they transitioned from a highly mechanized, industrial agricultural system to one using organic methods of farming and local, urban gardens. It is an unusual look into the Cuban culture during this economic crisis, which they call "The Special Period." The film opens with a short history of Peak Oil, a term for the time in our history when world oil production will reach its all-time peak and begin to decline forever. Cuba, the only country that has faced such a crisis the massive reduction of fossil fuels is an example of options and hope. Please subscribe to NewVideoDigital

My father worked as a chemist at Mobile Oil during the 70's. At the time of the big shortage... Mobil employees got a $1,000 bonus ($4,500 today) to hide the big profits they had made on the "shortage" high prices.
