re: What do you think the world would be like if it ran out of oil?

We will never run out. That’s like saying what would happen if we ran out of water

Do you think wars would take place where countries would try to grab as much as they can to fuel their own country's interest?

You said it would "be an amazing thing to see and would have dramatic effects on the world."
His post is just making a point that it would be a terrible thing for the world.

Except that oil is not renewable like water is.

So you just ignore any point I may have made because of my screen name?
How would we not have famine with no fuel to run the equipment currently needed to produce the food required to feed this world?
How would we not have a significantly higher amount of disease now that all of the sterile medical products and disposable medical devices can no longer be made of plastic? Did you even know plastics were made from petroleum products?
Now that we have no hydrocarbons to produce electricity, why wouldn't the world turn to coal? Hell we just had twonthreads this morning talking about our coal abundance/how bad retrieving and using said coal is.
How would a production economy such as china, Taiwan, India not suffer disproportionately now that 1.) their raw feed stock, plastics, is not available because any and all oil will be used for fuel and 2.) it costs significantly more, will take significantly longer, and be significantly less reliable to ship what they do make.
So before oil was discovered we didn't have war? Oh that's right we did. Only it involved no mechanized divisions because there was no fuel to power them.
Now that internal combustion engines are less and less common, you think people will still utilize them versus people to formerly manual jobs?
Ok, now explain to me how the quality of life would not suffer. Unless you think life in the 1800's was better

This. It would be a slow transition & we'd have to prepare by becoming self sufficient on a community level & people would have to get off their arses and contribute... no more drive throughs and no more hand-outs.
