The documentary Collapse explores Michael Ruppert’s vision that the world is on the path to turmoil.

Ruppert claims the world has reached the peak oil output possible and that we are on a rapid decline of resources to sustain humanity.

What’s worse, he claims, is that governments and corporations have known about this for decades but have continued to keep the public in the dark.

Oil is the lifeblood of the industrial revolution. Everything we use from plastics to electricity requires oil energy. Since we have reached the peak of oil production, the building blocks to sustain life, by using the remaining oil to create actual renewable sources of energy, is imperative.

When we reach the end of the oil supply, we will not have the resources to create the infrastructure required to operate renewable sources of energy.

Ruppert blames our use of paper money, which is not being marked against a tangible resource, and has led to our mentality of ‘an infinite source of supply’. Yet, oil is a finite resource and as the resource diminishes, so too must the population.

How will the world cope when we do not have the resources to power electricity? to create food? to run society?

According to Ruppert, we must take responsibility locally. Rupperr suggests that what we are about to witness will be catastrophic if we do not realize our duty to protect our planet now.
