  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Jordan117 After oil runs out in about 50 years, our civilization will either destroy itself in resource wars (I'm thinking China vs. the USA over the Middle East's remaining oil), or be forced to contract into a much less advanced way of life. No petroleum = no electricity, no cars, no modern agriculture, no pharmaceuticals, no consumer goods, and no synthetic materials, at least not on the scale we've become accustomed to. Beyond that, people will most likely survive, but it will definitely be the end of [b]civilization[/b] as we know it.[/quote] But that's easy to fix, Ethanol fuel. With a Turbocharger, its more powerful than gas, at the same fuel economy, same price (except ethanol, which is from corn, is cheaper than gas, it's the car that's the same price). As to electricity, that only affects oil based powerplants. Just built more nuclear. Lots of alternative exist too, like the dams that are already in place, solar panels, the Fusion reactor that is being built (a prototype, [url=http://www.ITER.org]ITER[/url]), Diesel engines can run off of vegetable products (google Bio-fuel). All we need to worry about is plastics, really, and alternatives for those exist too.
