The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil a recently released 50 minute documentary on their response to losing over half their oil imports in 1990. A review of resource depletion and climate change concerns will highlight the story's relevance to Chicago's future.
According to one reviewer, "In Cuba, the sudden weaning off petroleum started bringing rapid improvements in productivity through experimentation, citizen involvement, and eventually feelings of security for all concerned.
