Movie review: Documentary ‘Pump’ slams Big Oil, but offers solutions, too

Salt Lake Tribune
The film starts with a history of the American automobile and the parallel growth of the oil industry, focusing on how Big Oil conspired to eliminate any alternatives, like electric trolley cars and alcohol for fuel. Then the movie (narrated by Jason Bateman) details how America’s oil consumption grew just as the supply became largely controlled by other countries, and how China is rapidly growing as an oil consumer.
