Peak Oil: Imposed by Nature is a new documentary that will be
available from Friday 15th July throughout the UK and Europe via the
website www.PowerSwitch.org.uk. Produced by Amund Prestegard and
recommended by Dr Colin Campbell, it is an excellent introduction to
the causes and consequences of the terminal decline of global oil
production as we reach Hubbert's Peak, expected in 2007.

In the documentary, Dr Colin Campbell takes us to Stavanger in Norway,
where he has worked the last 10 years of his professional career. He
explains the different aspects of discovery and production, the
increase and decline, and the fact that this will happen very soon. Dr
Campbell serves as our `guide' throughout the documentary, although he
is just one of the many informed and informative analysts that feature.

Richard Webb is a financial risk analyst with broad experience from
some of the world's largest investment banks. He expresses his opinion
about signs that the market is reaching an extremity, and that this
endorses what Colin Campbell and the ASPO are saying: we are near the
peak. Webb underlines the importance of understanding that the
dramatic event is not when we will run out of oil, but rather what
will happen when there is less tomorrow than there is today.

Norwegian petroleum geologist Olve Torvanger has 30 years of worldwide
experience in seismic surveys, searching for oil. He points to the
seriousness of a situation in which our tools become ever more
sophisticated, but we are finding less and less.

Matthew Simmons is Chairman and CEO of Simmons & Co. International,
one of the world's largest energy-investment banking firms. He
expresses a deep concern for the urgent need to take measures to
prevent the decline that shall destroy our society. He refers to the
word "crisis" (NOTE: see brackets after `guide' above) as "A temporary
problem that has been left unattended so long that it has become
permanent"!

Aage Figenschou, Norwegian board member of Simmons & Co, expresses
worry regarding the downgrading of reserves by oil companies. He
believes that we are near the peak, but underlines that it will not
make people run to fill up their cars. What we will see, he says, is a
constant pressure towards ever-higher prices, a rather negative outcome.

Chris Skrebowski, Editor of Petroleum Review in London, argues the
case for a much stronger involvement from Government that could go as
far as deciding who can - and who can not – have (NOTE: what are you
saying here? Sentence doesn't make sense. Do you mean – who can and
can not have access to oil?). The Government, he claims, will find
themselves monitoring a war-like situation.

Investigative reporter, Michael C Ruppert, expresses his views on Dr
Campbell being approached by US intelligence in his own village in
Western Ireland. Ruppert claims that what the CIA most of all wants to
know is "how close is the ASPO to penetrating the public consciousness
with the issues of PEAK OIL and how close is the public to
acknowledging what it's going to mean." According to Ruppert, the
so-called "war on terrorism" (NOTE: once again, is this a direct quote
from the doc? If not, it needs single inverted commas) is nothing but
a war to control the last remaining oil reserves on the planet.

US president George W. Bush frets over the fact that the US now
imports over half of their crude oil, and that very often they import
that from countries that "don't particularly like us" and "that it
could jeopardize the national security to be dependent on sources of
energy from countries that don't care for America - what we stand for,
what we love."

The Producer/Director/Cameraman is Norwegian Amund Prestegard, 52,
experienced in all facets of filmmaking since 1972. Prestegard has run
his own production company, Tropos Dokumentar, since 1995. Peak Oil:
Imposed by Nature was nominated `Best Professional Documentary' at the
Norwegian Documentary Film Festival 2005. The idea for this film came
about when Prestegard, during research for another project, became
aware of the global oil depletion situation when reading the works of
Campbell, Laherrere and Simmons during Autumn 2002.

With a running time of approximately 30 minutes, this documentary
quickly absorbs, and delivers a much-needed wake-up call to anyone new
to the subject of peak oil. With the need for a worldwide
understanding of the causes, consequences and solutions, this
documentary is a very useful tool in raising awareness. Shorter than
End of Suburbia but with a strong UK focus, this is a documentary that
everyone should see.

PS

US intelligence visiting Colin Campbell personally is kinda freaky.
