1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,440
Speaker 1: For more than a century now, the fossil fuel industry

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: has been telling one story more than any other. We

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,559
Speaker 1: owe not just our way of life, but our lives

4
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: themselves to this industry.

5
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:21,240
Speaker 2: Fossil fuel use does not contribute to improvements in life expectancy.

6
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 1: Does the promise of oil wealth actually pan out?

7
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 3: Generally does not pan out.

8
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: That's what the record shows today. Oil companies are racing

9
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: to drill while they still can in a global game

10
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: of high stakes musical chairs. No one wants to be

11
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: the company left holding the most untapped reserves when the

12
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: jig is up. And one small South American country is

13
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 1: at the forefront of this last wave of oil colonialism.

14
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 4: Offshore Guyana. We reached the huge milestone of declaring ten

15
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 4: billion oil equivalent barrels.

16
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: In three short years. It's gone for the world's top

17
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: eco tourism destination to one of the world's largest oil states.

18
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 5: The majority of people, including the IMF, have gone on

19
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 5: record as saying it was a very unfair deal.

20
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 6: For the end, it's really extraordinary the leverage industry has

21
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:17,839
Speaker 6: over the country.

22
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 7: Oil has really changed the landscape. It's even more difficult

23
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 7: to criticize the government.

24
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 3: The amount a number of attacks we have received from

25
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 3: members of the government. It shows that the government is

26
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 3: not ready to accommodate persons who are willing to speak out.

27
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: Welcome to Light Sweet Crude, a new season from the

28
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: teams behind damages and drilled that looks at the idea

29
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: that oil makes everything better and asks who's really winning

30
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: in the fastest growing economy on Earth.
