Delete

1. Okay, unlike A Crude Awakening: The Oilcrash this film at least ticks the apocalyptic FUD boxes, but why does RW actually need this? Unless someone wants to slog through it and write a critical and snarky review of it (my edits being only a snarkification of a rather happy-clappy review), I suggest it gets the chop. I don't even know if it's interesting enough to be here in the first place. ScepticWombat (talk) 23:56, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

• Considering the initial response I've received, I suggest that both this and A Crude Awakening be merged into peak oil in a section about peak oil "talking points". The peak oil article is very short and could do with expansion, and splitting all this peak oil crankery off into articles on each and every peaker crankomentary ever made is not very helpful.

I'm starting to feel like some kind of spambot here, but I phrased myself so agreeably on the talk page for this movie (and the one for "A Crude Awakening") that I will repeat myself once again: The contents of this article should be merged with the main Peak Oil article. We shouldn't lose track of these particular documentaries that roam about the web, never mind since most if not all of them claim to present "new" or "novel" or "never-before-put-into-flowchart-format" concepts and discoveries regarding these isses - something the truthers will always be able to accuse us of ignorance over. So even if everyone agrees on the worst about this specific article, atleast bake notice of the movie, its name, and the valuable bits of information regarding it into the main (and awfully short) Peak Oil article.
