@Stoneage Man – how about scientific innovation? Aren’t you familiar with alternative energies research?

Look everybody oil is going know where. There is enough oil for all of us forever and ever. Didn’t you know that the U.S. and Saudi Arabia are friends.

Logic alone tells you that if the worlds surface was ball of cheese and a plague species growing in population starts eating the cheese, eventually the cheese will run out. Cheese will be harder to eat the deeper you have tunnel for it.Eventually it won’t be worthwhile tunnelling for it, and you’ll have to eat something else. At that point since your populations growth depends on cheese as its primary source of energy, your population must die off. Eventually American must return to the stone age along with the rest of the planet. Remember, there is no substitute for kerosene (I’ve made loads of calculations on jatropha, it doesn’t add up). That means no planes. No planes means no transport of goods to market. No transport of goods means subsistence farming and mass starvation on a planetary level. Medicines, food supply and water supplies would all be hit. Worst of all, no oil, no combine harvesters, no fertilizers. Every species must one day die out. Every species will go up and down in population. But they must go extinct eventually.

@boberys – check out the link to the book review in the post – I did a series of posts based on what I read in Jeff Rubin’s book on peak oil.

This is the stuff I wrote about before I started ERE. I found that we were mostly preaching to the choir (this was back in 2003). However, oil resources are a serious serious issue and their depletion will change the world. No, there will not be “substitutes” in the sense that people can just switch to alternative energy soures and everything will be the same. The “way of life” will have to change. I started ERE mainly because I wanted to promote ways that would make the transition easier on people while avoiding the cassandra problem. Early retirement was just the carrot that I thought most people, at least the oil consuming people, could relate to—or relative better to than creaming curves, etc.

It’s ad that we continue to use more and more oil every day. Hopefully with more funding to companies like Tesla and Aperta, we can become less dependent on oil and more on renewable sources. In order to make the EV a truly green option, we need to keep increasing our renewable energy supply to also reduce our dependency on sources like coal and nuclear.

Interesting post! I start a small portfolio of stocks a couple of months ago. I only have one “oil” company stock in my portfolio because I am investing for a long term basis. I hope one day modern cars will work with solar or electricity and oil will worth barely nothing because i won’t worth anything… Hope it will happen soon because of the pollution and stuff.
