I just came across British comedian and activist Rob Newman‘s show “The History of Oil” – it is an enlightening, provoking and funny view on the role of oil in global politics in the past century and what role it’ll be playing in the future, what with the Crisis in the Middle East, Peak Oil and all those other nasty buzz phrases.
Best of all. there is a highly recommended 45 minute cut of the show freely available for your viewing pleasure.
