The Oil Drum: Europe

"Sit, be still, and listen
for you are drunk and we are at the edge of the roof."

Thus begins "Escape from Suburbia", a film that suggests ways to start sobering up and moving back from the roof's edge.

"Escape" comes from Gregory Greene, the director who in 2004 brought us "The End of Suburbia", which has likely been seen at least once by every card-carrying Peak Oilist. Instead of focusing on the dire situation, as did "End", "Escape" focuses on possible courses of action. Whether or not any of those actions fit your needs is up to you.

Gregory Greene, director/writer of the acclaimed 2004 documentary End of Suburbia has released the first trailer of the 2007 sequel Escape from Suburbia.
