It is the start of 2017 now and here in Southern Ontario EVERYBODY is buying massive gas guzzling SUVs, because gasoline is cheap and plentiful, all because of the massive oil surpluses caused by the fracking boom. People are not trying to move to a future without fossil fuels, instead they are using up more gasoline and other forms of fossil fuels more than ever before.

Living without a car is a really liberating experience but I do have to pay much higher rent to live in a walk friendly city like Seattle. I know a lot of people who don't have this option. Also buildings are responsible for a lot of carbon emissions and tend to get overlooked in the discussion. Again environmentalists sometimes come across as elitists because so few people can afford a brand new eco-friendly home; we need to make the environmental movement more relevant to people in poverty and less "high morality", high end consumer based .

When riding my bike, I am amazed at how little respect I get from drivers. We are all accountable for our actions. If we do not pay the consequence, then our children will. This is a fantastic visualization of just how broken the world's model of sustainability really is. This shows clearly that we need to re-invent the wheel of how we live.

[@gabrielacruzzarate6846]

For centuries, the use of fossil fuels as coal, oil and natural gas has allowed us to make significant progress, especially since the Industrial Revolution. However, that dependence has also led us to face serious problems such as climate change and pollution. Today, we are paying the price for those advances and we are forced to look for cleaner and more sustainable alternatives to stop damaging our planet. It is like we are reaping the consequences of centuries of excess.

The video also invites us to reflect on the future and the urgent need to move towards more sustainable energy sources.

[@KnightBiologist]

Good summation of the problems and the solutions, well done PCI.

[@steeldragonx]

Solar Power is the future. As we invest more into renewable resources, we should also look at our economy the same way, as a "renewable economy".. The principles of sustainability are based on the ability of renewal, so after all, our economy should be modeled the same way... if we want it to last.

[@victorjassiel388]

One of the most notable aspects of the film is its ability to distill complex historical and scientific data into an accessible format. The rapid visual progression of energy consumption over the past 300 years clearly illustrates how fossil fuels have driven economic growth and technological advancement. This growth has been revolutionary, transforming societies and raising living standards globally. However, the documentary does not shy away from addressing the darker side of this energy revolution. The environmental impact of fossil fuel consumption is presented with equal clarity. Rising levels of carbon dioxide and the associated threat of climate change are highlighted as critical issues. The film effectively underscores the urgency of transitioning to renewable energy sources by presenting a clear cause-and-effect relationship between fossil fuel use and environmenta degradation. Another important theme is the global disparity in the benefits and drawbacks of fossil fuel consumption. The uneven distribution of wealth and environmental impacts points to broader issues of inequality and geopolitical tensions. Fossil fuel resources have not only shaped economies but also influenced international relations and conflicts.

[@roger513]

This documentary brilliantly outlines the profound impact of fossil fuels on human history, especially how they've driven industrial growth and societal changes. However, the most critical takeaway is the need for resilience in the face of a post-carbon future. As the video highlights, transitioning to renewable energy is not just an option, but a necessity. Yet, the challenge lies in redesigning our infrastructure, economy, and cultural values to adapt. A focused presentation on the urgency of shifting to sustainable energy systems would help raise awareness about this pivotal issue.

[@erikamatusmarin157]

When I watched the video I was impressed by how the industry has evolved depending on the needs of humans, such as the invention of the steam engine by Thomas Newcomen, however, we have not stopped to think about how new inventions could affect the enviroment, because being a very large population, we have our own objects that represent a large quantity in the world. Fossil fuels were the impetus for the industrial revolution and the growth we have today in terms of the economy. The excessive use of these resources is destroying the environment, so it is necessary to implement actions that help mitigate the damage that has been caused over the years, and it is not the task of just one person, but of the entire society, including large companies. Important concepts: -renewable resources -Industrial revolution -Enviromental problems -Fossil fuel -Energy consumption

[@federicoteruel20]

Important concepts: • Steam engines: They function by burning coal and were used so that the miners could continue working in the mine. • Industrial revolution: Period in history characterized by the use of engines and fossil fuel. It triggered events such as the manufacture of vehicles and the use of oil for fertilizers and medicines. • Great depression:Period in which the market fell and there was an overproduction of products • Consumerism: Behavior created to invite the population to buy • Globalization: Process of exchanging products between countries with the aim of having better prices. As a consequence we have a great environmental crisis

[@jesushdez5123]

Through this video, we can appreciate in a simple way the fundamental role that fossil fuels have played in human development over the past three centuries. It begins with a historical overview of how fossil fuels, especially coal, oil, and natural gas, became the main drivers of the Industrial Revolution, transforming economies and societies worldwide. However, the video also strongly emphasizes the environmental costs of this dependence on fossil fuels, particularly global warming, resource depletion, and pollution, issues that are dramatically affecting us today. This is why the urgent transition to renewable energy sources is emphasized to address the ecological crisis that has resulted from centuries of fossil fuel use. Likewise, the video helps raise awareness about the critical challenges we face today and the need for a sustainable future, serving as an important reminder of the unsustainable trajectory of our current energy use and urging us to take immediate steps toward cleaner alternatives.

This video brings up many good points. The answer is not more globalization and centralization. Central planning will need to die. We must break apart into mini states and cities. That way we can have local economies and closer communities. People will be sovereign and free. Closer families builds trust. Instead of a mega grid, we need a mini grid.

This video is a perfect one that tries to let people know how fossil fuels have impacted the world in the little time they have been around. Here are the key points: • Coal and the Industrial Revolution • Important Inventions • Population Growth • Wars Fueled by Fossil Fuels • The Rise of Consumerism • Oil Shocks and Dependency • Environmental Damage • Economic Challenges • Sustainability Concerns • A Post-Carbon Future The topic I select is “the important inventions,” without fossil fuels people could not invent such inventions as electric motors, cars, airplanes, and fertilizers and many more inventions. These inventions played an important role in the modernization of the world and made life much more efficient, at the same time making the world more dependent on these resources.

[@daobagua]

@immortal6699 I am an electrical engineer. I work with power generation of many forms (including wind turbines). Their may be other non-poluting energies out their. However, any energy source for electricity that is sparatic in generation will not be able to be used as baseload until we have the ability to store massive amounts of energy (maybe 20 years, maybe never). Nuclear is an excellent option with generation 4 reactors that have really focused on safety.

[@NellySantiagoCuevas]

The video talks about many different topics but I consider the most important concepts to be: Fossil fuels: Natural resources like coal, oil, and natural gas formed from the remains of dead plants and animals over millions of years. Energy impact: Explains the major role fossil fuels have played in powering industrial revolutions and modern economies. Renewable energy: Energy sources like wind, solar, and hydro, which are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Environmental impact: Highlights the negative effects of fossil fuel use, including pollution and global warming. Sustainability: The importance of transitioning to renewable energy sources to address climate change. Carbon emissions: Release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, primarily from burning fossil fuels, contributing to global warming.

[@kenduilagunas3440]

The video "300 Years of Fossil Fuels in 300 Seconds" provides a brief history of humanity’s reliance on fossil fuels, covering the period from the beginning of the Industrial Revolution up to modern times. It highlights the rapid development and progress made possible by fossil fuels, while also drawing attention to the environmental consequences of this dependence. The video emphasizes the need for a transition to sustainable energy sources to combat climate change and preserve the planet for future generations.The Industrial Revolution marked the beginning of large-scale fossil fuel usage, particularly coal, leading to a massive increase in production, transportation, and economic growth, the main fossil fuels: coal, oil, and natural gas, which have been the backbone of global energy production for centuries. The extensive use of fossil fuels has led to significant environmental degradation, including air pollution, deforestation, and ocean acidification. The burning of fossil fuels is the primary source of greenhouse gas emissions, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2), contributing to global warming and climate change. Fossil fuels are non-renewable resources, meaning they are finite and will eventually deplete. This raises concerns about the long-term sustainability of fossil fuel dependence. The accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is driving global climate change, leading to extreme weather patterns, rising sea levels, and other ecological disruptions.

[@bambam8541]

This video is full of opinions and theories. We are not running out of oil or coal, we continue to find more and more. If your all about going green, biofuel, natural, recycling then you would realize oil and coal came from ORGANIC matter and that we are in fact recycling it and its a great energy source.

[@danielalopez7953]

The video provides a quick and revealing overview of the history of fossil fuels, from their origin from decomposed organisms to their crucial role in the Industrial Revolution and technological development, including the electric and internal combustion engines. It also addresses their impact on agriculture, the connection to conflicts such as the World Wars, the energy crisis, and the rise of consumerism. Finally, it encourages reflection on the need for a transition to a future less dependent on these resources. It's an essential piece that prompts us to think about our relationship with energy the most important concepts are:Origin of fossil fuels,Industrial Revolution,Technological innovations,Consumerism,Future transition.

There are 700-800 solar panels produced every hour and 250-400 wind turbines being produced an hour. We can use more nuclear energy like China. We can make massive dams like China, China has the largest dam and it can power Shanghai and Hong Kong but they are saving that energy to build a new mega city. We are getting there let's switch to getting solar panels on our roofs and switching to electric cars. Humans are not dumb and we will survive with or without fossil fuels.

What this means, barring the smoke and mirrors of a false monetary system and irrational self-interest, is we have a sustainable, clean, renewable energy source that, by itself would meet our energy needs in perpetuity. Necessity is the mother of invention. If we put our minds to the task, we "will" solve our problems.
