Originally produced in 2008.
Asks whether Earth's oil resources are beginning to run out. Discusses the accuracy of estimates of petroleum reserves and examines the peak oil theory, which says that the rate at which oil can be extracted will soon reach its maximum and oil production will fall. Looks at the potentially disastrous effects on the global economy if oil production falls and asks what steps we can take to prevent this, such as switching to electric cars or other alternative forms of fuel.
