Taking as its starting point the inevitable energy depletion scenario known as "Peak Oil," the film surveys a fascinating range of the latest intellectual, political, and scientific thought to make the case that by whatever measure of greed, wishful thinking, neglect, or ignorance, we now find ourselves at a disturbing crossroads: we can continue to burn fossil fuels and witness the collapse of our ecology, or we can choose not to and witness the collapse of our economy. Refusing to whitewash this reality, Blind Spot issues a call to action, urging us to face up to the perilous situation we now find ourselves in so that we might begin to envision a realistic, if inconvenient, way out. Certain to inspire debate in classrooms across a range of disciplines, especially in economics, environmental studies, the natural sciences, and political science. 521 Grade 9+ 521 Higher education. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Energy policy|xEconomic aspects|zUnited States. 650 0 Energy policy|xEnvironmental aspects|zUnited States. 650 0 Force and energy. 650 0 Globalization|xEnvironmental aspects. 650 0 Hubbert peak theory|zUnited States. 650 0 Natural history and environment. 650 0 Petroleum industry and trade. 650 0 Sustainable development. 650 0 Power (Mechanics) 650 0 Power resources. 655 7 Documentary films.|2lcgft 700 1 Benjamin, Evan. 700 1 Doring, Adolfo. 700 1 Gil, David. 700 1 Wallace, Randall. 700 1 Zackem, Amanda. 710 2 Kanopy (Firm) 773 0 |tMedia Education Foundation Collection|wnjcore00000000080 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.kanopy.com/node/41613|zAvailable on Kanopy 856 42 |zCover Image|uhttps://www.kanopy.com/node/41613/external- image
