Hopefully we will never know. Omni, Hopefully we will never know which of us is right. Already the U.S. is throwing billions of dollars into hydrogen reseach, and fuel cells. Within a hundred years if we last we can have a oil free society without any difficulty, or problems with...

What people? Zoobyshoe, What starving people? America has huge reserves of food. Enough at least to make the transistion.

Do you know any farmers? Zoobyshoe, Farmers are very resourceful, and you wouldn't have to have ox drawn plows, you could just convert a regular disc. The water supply is not dependent on oil in America, most of it is in reservations and dished out by water pressure. Some places like...

You guys just want chaos! I think you guys just want fire, death, and chaos. :wink:

What economy? Omni, You are right economy depends on trade, however, America is large enough to trade within itself. There would have to be major changes in government and of course social changes. And the economy would have to be put in a holding patern. It would take time, but it is...

Not True Not true, We were growing large crops before we had an oil economy, besides we already have enough non-crude oils and alternative powers to make a transistion without crude oils.

Farm Subsidies Omni, Also remember that countries like the U.S. subsidize their farmers making U.S. exports cheaper than a lot of third world countries own production. Mexico is a good example of this they import 25% of their corn from the U.S. putting their own farmers out of work and...

Having no oil is not the end of infrastructure. Omni, A person with a higher education is less likely to just give up. Plus he has some education to help him solve problems, like no oil. If the oil ends tomorrow the infrastructure will still exist. Most countries still rely on nuclear...

Possibility of unstability Thanos, I think it would be more likely that the smaller countries would dissolve into small cliques or nations as the governments of these countries fail. These nations would fight each other for stockpiled resources, and they more they fought, the less likely it...

Just so you know. I thought I should mention that I used America as my example because I am most familar with it. Different countries would have to use different strategies, Austraila for instance would have difficulty because they have a stretch of country 3,300 hundred miles that separates...

Oil is not a survival trait. I would say that the majority of Americans would survive and actually thrive. This is why: 1. Population. While having the third largest population of any country at 288,368,698 (Census Estimate 2002), we have a fairly low population to square mile rate at...

There is a movie? I didn't even know that there was a movie. I have pretty much given up on book to movie interpretations. How do you convey the thought and ideas expressed in writing into acting? It just never seems to work, either they don't get the idea across at all, or they make it so...

Thank you! That makes a lot more sense! I guess I was being a little dense myself, heh, heh. Thanks for taking the time to explain something elementary to me.

Sorry! This was supposed to go to the post about death! Hit the wrong button!

A great book about a man who becomes unstuck in time and zips between moments including his own death. Since he can go from moment to moment he can never really die. Review of Slaughterhouse 5 But since we are linear as far as I can tell, I am, but maybe you are not. I will die and that...
