The Collapse

In the film Collapse, which was directed by Chris Smith, Michael C. Ruppert was interviewed and questioned about his views and opinions about collapse. Michael C. Ruppert said that he wanted to find out how the world really worked and not how people said it worked. One of the things that Michael Ruppert talked about was peak oil. He said that Peak oil is the point of oil production when you have used up half the resources and that the world was at its peak. He talked about how there is many alternatives that we can take to save energy but they wont work as good as oil or we would have to use oil to make the supplies to that are used for the alternatives. An example would be the production of organic foods. Organic foods are made by using materials that need oil in order to function like the plows and trucks that carry to food to the destination.

He also said that there is a transition phase that is soon to come which is probably our only solution to this problem. Even though we have different methods on saving oil they all come back to the usage of oil. Michael Ruppert thinks that it to late to try to save yourself because we’re already at the peak and that we’re going down from now on. All you have to do is try to survive
