Power Words

So far since I'm reading the book "Peak Everything” by Richard Heinberg, I realized that his text has huge correlation with the movie "Crude Awakening". However, both sources of information primarily focus on the oil peak but in Heinberg's text/book focuses mostly on statistical information (graphs/data) about the oil peak and the effects of oil shrinkage while in the movie “Crude Awakening” a few scientist and developers such as Roscoe Burtlett, Matt Simmons and Terry Lynn Carl pay keen attention to the rise and fall of the oil boom and/industries in specific areas where oil was excessive. 

Power List
Perilous- Involving or full of severe risk. It can also be defined as threatening.


Disparity- A lack of similarity or equality; inequality; difference.


Biosphere- (1) the ecosystem comprising the entire earth and the living organisms that inhabit it. (2) The part of the earth's crust, waters, and atmosphere that supports life.


 Depletion- to decrease seriously. (reduction/decline)

Forager- (1) the act of looking or searching for food or provisions. (2) A hunter gatherer.


Exacerbate- (1) to increase the relentlessness, bitterness, or violence. (2) to provoke. (3) Act of belligerents.

I don't know if you've noticed but the word depletion is often used.
