So when do we concede?
Oil and other fossil fuels are a finite resource, even though the oil companies are coy about how much they have, it is generally agreed that it is going to run out sometime.
So when do we slow down?
Has anyone thought about how they're going to manage without petrol, diesel, gas & heating oil?
The impact on, well, pretty much everything. Manufacturing, packaging, transportation, agriculture, security & civil defence (Police & fire brigade).
Could we end up living in a Mad Max kind of world?
Would there be rural communities?
What about emergency healthcare, ambulances & air ambulance!
The impact of no or minimal oil reserves would be huge and affect pretty much everything we take for granted today.
How far away is it before we cannot afford to fuel our cars? (I know that seems like now, but seriously, if petrol was only for the filthy rich)
This is not about climate change or 'green' energy and renewable's but simply when the oil runs out, what are we gonna do?
