running cleaner and more efficiently.
Still, we cling to that old habit, oil,
and it's getting harder
and more expensive to find.
From coast to coast,
motorists are searching for relief from
soaring gas prices in California...
We could see a doubling or tripling of
real oil prices, that's after inflation.
We're running out of oil and
we've created a society,
the American way of life is what we call it,
based on the assumption that
oil will be plentiful forever.
that we've grown accustomed to,
the strip malls,
the big box stores with
their enormous parking lots around them,
all of those have been made possible
because we've had cheap gasoline,
and as energy becomes much more expensive,
you'll see that those areas become
less desirable places to live.
The first time I moved, I was six.
A lot of people were
leaving the suburbs for the city.
There were new jobs,
and you didn't need a car for everything.

As the American way of life
becomes increasingly unsustainable,

The Chinese like cars.
And they like big cars.
You have 14,000 cars out

Incomes are rising really rapidly.
They're moving into meat-based diets.
You need 10 pounds of grain
to get one pound of meat.
There is simply no way that the rest of the
world can start eating meat the way we do.
If everyone in the world consumed
as much as the average American,
It would take the resources of four Earths
to support the planet's population,
which raises the question,
