Peak Oil: A Love Story
November 16, 2016, 6:30 PM
FreeSustain Mid Maine Coalition’s Education & Community Outreach Team invites you to Peak Oil: A Love Story. This hour-long film was made by Nelson Cole (of Cambridge, ME) and features Iver Lofving (former Education Team leader and Skowhegan resident).
Peak oil is defined as “the point in time when oil extraction reaches its highest level and then declines.” The film summarizes Lofving’s evolving theory that when the Earth’s petroleum supplies reach their zenith — the peak of oil production — the eventual collapse of civilization will not be far behind. The film leaves viewers with the question: Is peak oil the end of the world or a new beginning?
