There’s No Tomorrow is an animated film dealing with resource depletion, energy, growth and collapse. It is a primer on the energy dilemmas facing the world of the 21st century. It should be noted that most people missed the point of the movie, which was not about peak oil or energy per se, but an attack on exponential economic Growth; also, the title scared people, who assumed it means ‘we’re doomed’. This is not the message of the film; reality is challenging enough without people imagining it to be even worse. TNT is primarily the work of one person, and was created over ~3 years.
