Robert Newman’s "The History of Oil"

If you haven’t seen British comedian Robert Newman’s The History of Oil, I beg you: set aside 45 minutes and check this out.

I spend a great deal of my life looking for ways to express the imperative to break our addiction to oil, based on explicating concepts like peak oil and wars that are secretly about oil.  But I never dreamed that someone with an unimaginable level of understanding and talent had done it 100 times better than I could ever hope to.  Enjoy.

Thanks so much to frequent guest blogger Cameron Atwood for bringing it to my attention.
