Oil Apocalypse: What If the Oil Runs Out?
Economy | Information | History | Online | Facts | World | Global | Money
Peak oil, an event based on M. King Hubbert's theory, is the point in time when the maximum rate of extraction of petroleum is reached, after which the rate of production is expected to enter terminal decline. Peak oil theory is based on the observed rise, peak, (sometimes rapid) fall, and depletion of aggregate production rate in oil fields over time. Mostly due to the development of new production techniques and the exploitation of unconventional supplies, Hubbert's original predictions for world production proved premature. Peak oil is often confused with oil depletion; peak oil is the point of maximum production, while depletion refers to a period of falling reserves and supply.

We seem to have a lot of possible ways to get around this, and we have more than enough time right now. 50 years is a lot of time. we've made nuclear bombs within 20 years, and phones, cars, and other things. I think we can make something work.

This should be titled WHEN the oil runs out.

Kinda sounds like a shitty Star Wars prequel-star wars the oil war

Fact check on oil prices affected by supply. History. Dec. and Jan 1991, U.S. is winning the 1st Gulf War. In February, Saddam Hussein, knowing he has lost, sets fire to 650 Kuwaiti oil wells. OIL PRICES PER BARREL 01/01/1991 = $39.27 02/01/1991 = $34.51

2016 there is plenty of oil.. natural gass and sun power and wind power , and waive power of the oceans and river flow power.... THE BIG PITCHER IS MORE THAN THE MASS MEDIA TELLS YOU.... peace my friends...........................

He is what may happen. Nuclear weapons will be unleashed or bio weapons to reduce the population massively.

This video is full of lies and propaganda it should be discarded.

As a start people should use smaller engines like those on 125cc and 200cc motorbikes. Motorcycles are less pollutant and more fuel efficient.
-
i am really looking forward to the oil running out so i can point and laugh at how stupid the human race has been.
-
I know where there's lots of oil..........................................

How about instead of continually fighting and waging oil and resource wars we gather the brightest scientists and engineers from around the world to work and put forth an effort to create ways of making sustainable clean and renewable energy for all nations, I believe we are capable.

It won't be the end of civilization if you know how to live off the land how it sposed to be civilization can survive however it will be the end of world governments which would come with war an all kinds of shit that will in time pass and those left over will live in peace!!! if only if mother earth allows it!!!!

New directional drilling technology is finding resources in the earth's crust that was never thought possible even a decade ago. 20 Billion barrels of oil and natural gas was just found in west Texas using this new directional drilling. The worry that we're running out of oil may be misguided. We should be worried about how to move to clean energy without destroying the economy. Oil is an excellent candidate for making carbon nanotubes and plastics. Natural gas can be used to make hydrogen using gas reformers and use new sequestration techniques to get rid of the CO2. The world is moving towards clean energy solutions that make sense economically (like China), so now the big question is : how is North America going to adapt to this new reality and make money at it?

Why is oil so important? Jfc i might as well live in a cabin in the woods
-
Well mankind was doing well before the 20th and 21st without oil. So we may survive without it
-
Everyone should convert their Berlers from earl to gas to save earl bam problem solved for a few years anyway
-
Na Na my boiler runs on gas
-
There is one solution, make army and government hike and fist fight wars
-
dont worry crude is now renewable. from poop. pretty soon were all gona be s**** in our cars on the way to work instead of stopping at the gas station. http://www theverge com/2016/11/6/13544176/feces-fossil-fuel-poop-crude-oil

This video is out of date as far as what's available in the USA. New discoveries and new technologies have unlocked new/old oil fields. It doesn't mean we won't run out but the can has been kicked further down the road. We need to be working on the next energy sources not as oil competition but as a slow transition.
