World Without Oil blogs are so scary don't you think.?
Answer:
It's an interesting website--but the gneral idea--a "world without oil"--isn't (unless you allow yourself to be taken in by the oil industry scare tactics). The bottom line is that we will pretty much stop using oil by the end of this century in any event. There's simply too many better and cheaper alternatives that are (or soon will be) available.
Only if you BELIEVE everything that is written down.
To take one source and not back it up with 20 to 30 other DIFFERENT sources would indeed be scary
We'll cope with more expensive oil and diminishing supplies somehow. The question is will we "get ahead of the curve" by working hard before it really hits hard, or will we delay action until there's a crisis, and we're forced to do things in desperation.
That won't be the end of the world, but it will surely cost us a lot of money. People can help by supporting alternative energy and electing people with vision and guts.
