The Oil Machine (2022)
Interesting and thought provoking documentary
31 March 2023
I agree with all the positive reviews. It was quite slow and thoughtful, but that gave one time to think about what was being said. Try to stick with it, as you will probably learn like I did. I discovered a lot about the economics of the oil business, and how the North Sea has been carved up and sold to foreign companies. Not only has that squandered the potential wealth from the North Sea, but it has reduced our political control over closing down our reliance on oil, as the government must do to have any chance of hitting the net zero targets. It was good how they interviewed children about their worries, after all they are the ones who are going to have to deal with the consequences of our failure to cut greenhouse gases.
