Focus Years: 2009 | Country: United States
Synopsis:
“Houston We Have a Problem†stands out in the surge of films that address “green†issues. It takes a close examination inside the energy capital of the world to reveal America’s dangerous appetite for oil consumption. Today, in the midst of unsolvable wars, global warming, recession, peak oil, and oil spills, the worldʼs energy demand continues to skyrocket. The U.S. energy demand alone is predicted to go up 50 percent in the next 20 years. Hear the confessions of oilmen, who work in the trenches every day, scrambling to feed Americaʼs ferocious appetite. The film traces the history of oil drilling in America and how the United States came to rely on foreign oil, from the Texas oilmen themselves, tracking congress' empty promises for alternative energy since the 1970s. The energy policies of the U.S.A. have only been a strategy of defense, not offense: problems (such as the recent gulf disaster, an inevitable tragedy) that extend far beyond profit, politics, and party lines. However, a new form of “Wildcatting†in alternatives is changing the oil industry and the country. “Houston We Have a Problem†brings both sides together, seeking solutions, making it clear that we must embrace all forms of alternatives in order to save the planet and ourselves.
