get outta hereIf we ran out of oil and coal today, what would the World be like in a year?
A tough answer, but if oil does run out today, economies will collapse and we will be living back in the ancient days. Oil and coal is the major source of energy at the moment.
Another thing is, oil will last at least 300 years more (judging by current exponential consumption, taking in the emergence of China and India). And this is only based on known resources, we have yet to talk bout undiscovered oil fields.If we ran out of oil and coal today, what would the World be like in a year?
Fuel will never run out. It can only get infinitely expensive. If it got real scarce real quick, alternative resources that were once more expensive that the market would bare would become reasonable alternatives.
Initially these alternatives would command high premiums and lure competition and alternatives into production. This would increase the supply of viable energy until such a time where it meets the demand for energy, which will likely be higher, much higher than we are used to paying now.
God bless the free market system. It may feel like it stinks, but in the long run, it is better than any alternative.
back at square 1. worshiping the sun god.
war, destruction, for natural resources.
It wouldn't be in a year. It would be in the weeks to come. Revert back to basics, if you plan to survive. A storage drum full of fuel in a remote spot for safty and emergency purposes. An extra vehicle(truck) garage kept, a secret fallout shelter, mad supplies, maps of terrains, GPS, compass, arms and ammo. Oh, I'm so ready !!!
if oil or whatever came from dinosaurs, don't you think that decaying people would have the same effect. Pretty soon i bet we can just go and syphin it out of coffins.
