Modern man is so dependent upon oil that there will be no back up plan if oil was to completely run out. Oil is needed for everything. |
Sure, if oil was to run out this year, I could agree. Yet, there are so many patents and things sitting on shelves that we could probably switch to an all electric system within a few years for cars, switch to gas or electric heat for our houses. Oil is slowly being phased out (VERY slowly), but to say that life would cease, that's kinda far fetched. Think about it - we still have other means of transportation that dont require oil - trains, bikes, skateboards, horses. We have other forms of heat - wood, gas, electric. We would learn to adapt, which is part of what humans do
