This is not the same version that aired before. It has been re-edited.

It is now far more critical of ethanol (and all biofuels) than the original version. They've added some new stuff, including an interview with someone critical of ethanol, and with Branson.

Interesting...

Well, it didn't air June 11th. Now they are saying We Were Warned will air June 25.

Not sure if this is the regular CNN or a special version meant for schools.

Article includes a lesson plan.

"We Were Warned: Out of Gas" will be shown again this Sat (21st) and Sunday (22nd) @ 8 pm ET on CNN.

This must be an annual event now. I wonder if it will be re-edited to reflect the current realities. It would then be interesting to see how they have edited it each time.

One thing that is instructive is the new article in Time magazine:

When you look at the related articles that go back in time, there are some portents.

This one is from 2005:

')Remember, too, that energy spending is not so crucial to the economy as it once was. It was 14% of GDP in 1981, compared with 7% today. "We can take these kinds of prices," says S&P's Wyss. "Relative to income, they're not that high." A gallon of gasoline, after all, is still about the same price as a gallon of bottled water. He calculates that the average person would need to work 42 min. to earn the money for a week's commute; back in the 1970s, it was 102 min. "That explains why we're still buying SUVs," he says. Once oil gets to, say, $100 a barrel, "it starts to get more difficult."

I recorded it on TiVo (6.22.08) and watched it twice. I thought it was very well done and I learned many new facts.

It must feel like a bit of a victory for the "old timers" here to see this topic go mainstream - network TV on prime time Sunday night.
