"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." –Richard Heinberg, author of
