Pland activity May - June:
Filming in Uppsala – Sweden, Lisbon – Portugal, Dubai – UAE, and Ballydehob – Irland.

Background:
The project “Asleep in America” is a documentary that explores the topic of Peak Oil. Peak Oil happens when global demand for fossil fuels surpasses supply. Experts agree that Global Peak production will surely happen. They disagree only on when it will happen. Oil industry analysts predict the Global Peak could occur around 2020. Critics disagree and provide evidence suggesting the Peak will occur as early as 2010. Either way, the Peak is inevitable.

Mission:
The mission of this documentary is to objectively examine the relative aspects of the Peak Oil situation and bring to light the ramifications it has for the future of industrialized societies. It will ask and attempt to answer the following questions:
Is more energy needed to improve world-wide standards of living, and
Is the world supply of fossil fuels sufficient to meet future demands?
Because many noted petroleum geologists around the world say the answer to the above question is a resounding NO, what should we be doing now?

What is the documentary “Asleep in America” intended to do?
Many Americans seem unconcerned or uninformed about the problem of diminishing fossil fuel reserves. It is, however, vitally important for America to wake up to…and confront…this issue. Here in the U.S., 20 million barrels <42gallons each> of oil are required each day to satisfy our current needs. Although our country has only 5% of the global population, Americans consume 25% of the world’s energy. And, as the US makes plans for future growth, its people and its leaders need to understand that our nation is a part of a finite biosphere blessed with only a limited endowment of natural resources. New and alternative sources of energy will be required coupled with new methods of conservation. People everywhere need to hear, understand and cooperate. “Asleep in America” will tell the story.
