Guys, what happens when we run out of oil?
Shit is going to hit the fan. It looks like global climate change is even more of an immediate issue though.
>when we run out of oil
>>69024855
We invade another country, duh.
>>69025052
Do you think that oil just magically reappears when you pump it out of the ground? How stupid do you have to be?
>>69025142
There's a good 1000 years worth of oil dumbfag
>>69025142
Oil information is highly classified due to national security purposes.
Maybe you think public science knows everything.
how are scientist so goddamm lazy that they didnt learn yet how to transform atoms and reorganize them the way they please:
>>69024855
>>>Guys, what happens when we run out of oil?
We make more.
>>69025357

GOOOOLD!
WITH OUR NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS!

He means we as in everyone alive right now
WE, as in ME and YOU will never run out of oil, why should we even care about the 10th generation from now in 1000 years running out of oil when statistically we as a species won't even live that long, or at least not at this level of stability.

>>69024855
It's not that we're going to run out of oil, it's just that it's going to get more and more expensive to drill for more. As a matter of economics we've drilled all the easy to get to oil first, so we have to keep going deeper and deeper and going to more offshore areas. It then costs more to extract the oil, driving the price up. The price of oil is just going to keep rising. That's the main problem.
>>69025357
We can, it's just too expensive.
>>69025285
That addresses nothing I said you clueless moron.
>>69024855
>falling for the oil is limited meme
If it were the case, there have been plenty of alternatives that have been bought out by big oil companies.
>>69025212
More like 50 according to my 2 seconds of jewgle research, but we definitely can't keep using at the rate we are now
>>69025212
So what happens after that?
>>69024855
The free market will fix it.
>>69025357
Brazilian education everyone.
we use niggers as power source
>>69025212
Nice propaganda. Industrials and big corporations spread that kind of lie so that they can make maximum profit in a minimum time, instead of saving oil.
>>69024855
ethanol
>>69025462
Now that's a much more correct way to look at it. But it's a bit like hedging in that oil drives economic development sufficient to the state, and the state derives its power through the backing of sufficient oil supply. It works when it works, but then you have LTCM style blowouts when they got out of hand with their towers of babel and had to be taken down for the good of greater projects.
It really doesn't do anything to settle how much oil we really have at hand.
>>69024855
5 billion faggots disappear. whats not to love.
>>69025543
You can convert coal to oil. That process will keep the USA oil independent for a couple of centuries.
>>69025357
we can, sort of, but doing that takes energy
It ends up being a net loss
>>69024855
When we run out of CHEAP oil, we force the heating sector to switch to electricity, and let the transportation sector get by on biofuels and hydrogen based synthetic fuels until we have found a scalable energy alternative.
>>69025778

>>69025809
This is a better idea, danskjävel
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal_liquefaction
>>69024855
Oil would have become so prohibitively expensive that we wouldn't be able to use it in a mass way for energy. We will be forced to find alternative energy sources before we come anywhere near the depletion of the oil supply. It'll probably be nuclear power or something. In other words, we will never run out of oil.
>>69025843

>>69024855
Everyone agreed that the world only had 4 more years of oil, this was a known fact at the time.
this was before WW1
>>69025533
The elites that run big oil companies will be fine if shit hits the fan, why would they care?
>>69025778
>shillary gets in office
>shuts down coal industry
then what?
We use road bikes.
>>69026026
>the elites
Do you honestly believe hat the elites would want society to completely collapse, billions of people to starve, and their money and investments to become worthless? What would be the point? This is what I don't understand when it comes to all of these illuminati-esque theories, they never give us the motivation of the people involved.
>>69026026
Bitch nigga, I don't know what Over The Hillary will do.
But we CAN do coal liquefaction and it's been a viable solution since before World War II.
>>69025778
There is a plant in Arkansas that turns turkey guts into API #1 Fuel Oil, which can then be refined into products like gasoline. The process is neither cost or energy effective, much like turning coal into oil.

Rockefellers literally just sold their Exxon Mobil stock this week. They're moving on to something else.
>>69024855
We mine the moon for more. :^)
>>69026377
That's because oil is cheap right now.
>>69026484
If it's the Rockefellers, then they're probably just shorting it for some ulterior purpose you don't know about to move the pieces somewhere else and rip up more money later during another play.
>>69026441
Do tell me how long it takes a barrel of oil to form naturally.
>>69024855
Everything will be fine. The big oil companies will already be transitioning to whatever the fuck the next consumable power source is.
You think it will happen over night, it won't. It will take decades.
>>69026484
Yes, because oil is literally worthless right now. Not to mention that the profitable wells are all in the Middle East, Russia, and Venezuela, not exactly places open to American oil interests. It's only reasonsble that America would progress to other everyday sources, if only in the name of energy independence or corporate profits.
>>69024855
Transform coal in to oil.
We need that shit for medicin and other things.
Not just as petrol. Car can drive on electricety to used frying oil to alcohol.
>>69025142
We can make it in a lab dipshit it's just cheaper to pay a jawa to dig it out of the ground.
>>69026905
They're Tusken raiders, you sithlord!
>>69026905
What materials do you make oil from anon?
>>69026989
Coal, you bitchnigga.
>>69026989
cold pressed chicken
we are never going to run out of oil
don't worry your little head about it
>>69024855
We've been saving for this eventuality.
Eventually, the middle east will run out. This is when we sell of our strategic oil reserves, and then we transfer over to fusion/nuclear.
By that point, the United States will simply leave, and make the solar system great again.
>>69025761
underrated post.
>>69024855
We go back to hemp seed oil.... which we should already be doing.
>>69024855
I guess I'll just have to jack it dry.
>>69024855
the arab countries will have peace
>>69024855
We'll all be dead by then m8
>>69024855
Who gives a fuck what happens in like 300 years when we will all be dead. Fucking idiot
The world currently subsists on deployable sources of energy.
we either find a deployable replacement for oil (not likely), or start preparing our energy infrastructure to use energy from fluctuating sources instead.
Batteries are shit, so electricity only works for urban light transport.
Hydrogen based energy storage is doable but terribly inefficient atm. Biofuels compete directly with food production so is not scalable.
Step 1) energy saving R&D can slow demand in the short term
step 2) Intermittency infrastructure can increase electricity share of fluctuating renewables to about half without too much fuss. Base load should be nuclear, coal, waste incineration and biomass.
3) electricity based district heating can cut oil demand AND provide storage options for fluctuating renewables.
4) light transport switches to battery electric, while heavy transport will have to make do with synthetic and biofuels until hydrogen electric matures.
We'll just switch to solar and wind power for everything, it's easy as fuck. The only reason we still use oil is because a market exists around it. Once we run out of oil, we will find a way to construe some kind of value from wind/solar power and it will take off easily.
The market will literally fix it. Oil is so far away from being anything to worry about whatsoever.

Peak Oil is the real problem.

We can't afford to think about this type of shit boy.

>>69024855
We could always use vegetable oil and turn it into biodiesel.
Death chaos end of civilizations
We make more oil using the dead bodies of third world Africans. A perpetual source of energy on account of their ability to over breed like a pest.
>>69025142
it does. use google faget
>>69024855
we use thorium, or natural gas, deep ocean drilling
you do know that there is still oil in a lot of wells don't you? it's just not economic to pump it out past a certain presure, and new fracking isn't being carried out due to the cost per barrel
if oil becomes scarce the price rises and suddenly a load more oil gets economic to recover
>>69025020
did the IPCC scientists make 73 prediction models?
did the observations agree with their predictions?
even once?
can you trust them if their models do not predict as claimed?
>>69024855
We start global adoption of nuclear power, like we should have 50 years ago.
The story behind this idea that oil forms from 'dead dinosaur bodies' is certainly born of dubious background. I suggest people skeptically look into it on their own time.
It's not going to "run out" so much as it will "slowly get more expensive over time, coloring the cost of everything until eventually our infrastructure degrades to the point that world governments collapse"
fossil fuels are cheap energy, that's it. Cheap energy that's allowed us to build a massive society. Unless we get fusion up and running, it'll be all downhill from here.
>>69025778
and gas bro
>>69025843
not realising that oil, coal and gas are just hydrocarbons and you can fractional distill them to lengthen or reduce the chain length
it's basic organic science
>>69035921
A) the theory that it comes from the mantle has been mostly discredited, primarily because the predictions it makes on where oil should be located are all dead wrong.
B) it doesn't matter anyway, because we know for a fact that we can deplete wells, meaning we consume it far faster than it could possibly be produced by the earth, were that the case. Shout "HYDROCARBONS AREN'T FOSSIL FUELS" all you want, it won't change the fact that wells don't perceptibly fill up.
>>69032592
always looks good on paper.
>>69025212
we need 45 of these, daily
>>69028740
hydrogen isn't a fuel source you nigger, you only get out what you put in
>>69037441
any nuke in germony?
>>69037027
Why have depleted wells been refilling?
>>69024855
Diesel.
Man fucking retards in my country.
oil isn't just going to abruptly run out without warning
as supply decreases price will increase which means alternatives become more economical
over the next 50 or so years we will transition to natural gas and eventually to renewables
major energy companies produce projections of how they think energy market will evolve over time with projections going out 30-50 years, like Shell energy scenarios or BP global energy outlook
>>69039381
>renewables
except for hydro and geothermal, they are useless and unreliable
what's wrong with Thorium?
>implying we don't already have the technology to completely replace fossil fuels.
Oil is the only thing keeping the middle east from chimping out. Archer put it pretty well.
"You think the middle east is a mess now? Imagine how it would be if nobody needed their oil".
a lot of oil wells that where dried out are already filling up again, look it up.
wells that where pumped out decades ago are filling up again because of oil from further down the well.
>>69040584
this, muslims in the middle east can do all this shit right now because we need the oil too much.
The moment they cant give us any oil and they do something retarded like ISIS then the midle east while get everything those sandniggers deserve.
