Energy Crossroads: A Burning Need to Change Course (2007)

Winner of the 2007 Colorado Environmental Film Festival, Energy Crossroads looks deeply and objectively at our use of, and dependence on, energy. As our global population and its appetite for energy rise drastically, resource depletion and global warming have become the most pressing issues facing humanity today. Most experts agree that global peak oil production, when demand exceeds supply, will occur within the next 15 years and will drastically change the very fabric of our industrialized world. Featuring commentary from a variety of knowledgeable and well-credentialed experts in the fields of climatology, environment, anthropology, and energy, this eye-opening documentary argues that the use of renewable energy such as solar and wind power, coupled with higher efficiency and conservation, will both be key factors in preserving our quality of life and paving the way to a sustainable world for our children.
