This documentary shows why the greed is the wrong motivator and why it is bad for a civilized society. The story is presented in the usual documentary style with people sitting and talking to the camera, plus archival footage of various key players. Numbers could have been better presented with charts and graphs. Still, it explains what happened to the energy company. My Rating: 7.5
