Do this year’s heat waves worry you? Will you have to choose between heating and eating this winter? Is your job or business in danger because of spiralling energy bills? And are 100 new licences for drilling in the North Sea the right answer to that?
We live in an oil machine and we are running out of time.
The film THE OIL MACHINE shows how much we depend on oil and gas, and why that needs to change.
Now, After THE OIL MACHINE, let’s engage others in the discussion about how we transition away from an oil-based economy. If you’ve just watched the film, or are curious to find out more, here are some ways to get involved.
Sparking discussions after watching the film
Every screening of THE OIL MACHINE can kick off a discussion in your community on how the North Sea plays a role in determining our future.
No matter if you’re an oil worker or a climate activist, an investor or an educator, a scientist or a politician – they’d love to hear from you if you can be part of the discussion at one of our screenings.
They also make it very easy for you to host your own event.
What’s been happening since filming THE OIL MACHINE
The issues raised in the film have become even more urgent with recent upheavals in energy security, the cost of living, and our climate. At the same time, the new UK government is rushing to put out 100 new licences for North Sea oil and gas exploration. One year on from the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow, they’re now going back to the film’s contributors to ask them how recent global events have shaped the ongoing debate about oil.
What needs to come after the oil machine
We have to act now and make sweeping changes that move our societies away from dependence on fossil fuels. What will you do to help? What are your demands from those in power? They’re asking the film’s contributors to share their ideas to get you started.
