I recommend watching this guy, Chris martenson -- a scientist and former fortune 500 ceo -- he quit his job and now works exclusively on something he calls his "crash course" -- it's an insightful, apolitical, and dispassionate accounting of our economy, energy, and the environment. It's split into 20 parts on youtube http://www.youtube.com/user/ChrisMartensondotcom
all are worth watching, but if you're forced to choose, start with Peak Oil (chap 17, I think) and make sure to watch chapters 18 and 19 -- that's where he finally distills the subsequent chapters into a cogent, measured, but still alarming hypothesis.
