American oil consumption

It seems logical that American people use a lot of oil for instance, in their cars, but also for their industries, so we found this video on the web which explains how we can understand and change American attitude to oil consumption.
The speaker on the video analyses the situation in the USA and tries to provide answers about how to revitalize the economy without the oil business.



It's an old video (2005) but it isn't out of date nowadays !

Analysis of the video:

First, we can see that the speaker is very optimistic because, even if he starts with showing the negative effects of the oil consumption on climate changes, he says that oil will be replace by other energies if countries like The United States try to do what he says.
The speaker begins with treating the historic point of view of the American oil consumption, for example, he speaks about the importance of oil for the industry, especially for IBM in 1970.
He speaks about the fuel war, not between the countries but between objects wich use fuel, for example, there is a war between Cars and Industries. To my mind, it is very original to show that viewpoint.
The speaker analyse the situation in the future, in 2025 and his analysis is optimistic because for him, the USA could survive without oil.

It's interesting !! isn't it ?
