Post Carbon Salt Lake is pleased to present “Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil” - about Cuba’s energy crisis following the Soviet collapse, and its response. Richard Heinberg, about this film: “Everyone who is concerned about Peak Oil needs to see this film. Cuba survived an energy famine during the 1990s, and how it did so constitutes one of the most important and hopeful stories of the past few decades. It is a story not just of individual achievement, but of the collective mobilization of an entire society to meet an enormous challenge. Lest the point be missed, I will underscore it: this particular challenge – the problem of energy scarcity is one we will all be facing very soon."
