Gosh, such doom and gloom. I remember well that 20-30 years ago, most of the oil experts thought we would run out of oil well before 2050, and many thought that 2025 would find us oil-poor and that would lead to massive conflicts over control of what little oil there was. There were books written about those precise predictions. If you want one of those books, I would be glad to send one to you.
The bottom line was that we better get our bu*** in gear and quickly find alternative sources of energy. Guess what? We are awash in oil. Alternative sources of energy is still an unknown factor. Lots of places have massive wind turbines, producing little energy. The wind doesn't always blow. Solar panels are expensive and guess what? The sun doesn't always shine. Hydroelectric is a great source of energy, but how many rivers, how many lakes do we have that are suitable for hydroelectric. Nuclear is a bad word in most of the world. The industrial revolution was born and grew on the back of oil. Pray tell, what energy source(s) would one suggest to replace the massive amounts of energy that oil produces?
