you know how hamburger grease doesn't seep through the paper bag nearly as much as like, printer paper? thats because its coated with a petroleum product
everything you buy has petroleum in it
the end of petroleum is the end of society

>>14550099
Basically nothing people will adapt. The problem is running out of oil before others do, then you are weaker.
By adapting i dont mean electric car. I mean you won't die or live in pain. You will have a normal life.

>>14550099
Oil isn't running out.
It is simply getting more and more expensive to acquire. More and more people will have to live with less.

The super rich will be able to refine oil from the the blood sweat and tears of a thousand migrant labourers if necessary.

>>14550115
you could still use bee wax or some alternative.
The only reason we use oil is because it's cheap and it's cheap because the economy is specialized in it.

HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You do realize this post is retarded, right? How can you live in modern times and not understand the fundamental importance of oil(+other fossils)?

>>14550202
Their importance is not fundamental. People can live without oil.

>>14550211
90% of the world would starve to death without fossil fuels

>>14550218
Suppose they do what about it? So we live with only 800 million people. Thats not the end of society.

>>14550202
You can build a state of the art computer from scratch without using a single drop of oil.
Oil is just an economic factor and not a technological one.

do you mean like zero oil (that will never happen) or do you mean for most things like cars or transportation. likely within the next 50 years.
Id advise you buy a nice classic like bmw e38 because that will be worth millions but then again gas will be like 500 dollars a gallon(or whatever new currency)

The reason there will always be oil is because synthetic materials exist and they're a by product of oil.

The future generations aren't going to be retards. They're going to be Marxists that understand Dialectical Materialism and Historical Materialism and that current events and systems are shaped by the material conditions that define them. Capitalism will lead to Communism and as long as we realize that and work towards that inevitability without resisting we will be understood.

>>14554052

So *Insert French socialist word for all means of economic activity i dislike.* Will "inevitably" lead to *Insert retarded propaganda critique funded London Jews and penned by the rich son in law of a Prussian aristocrat.* because reasons.


Communism will never happen, not because it's useless and retarded (it is.) But because it's outlived it purpose.

Communism was founded and funded/ artificially spread to divided the impoverished lowest class, the slighty better off working class "Lumpenproles", and the upper middle class petite bourgeois. Who upon the advent of mass literacy realized they had a lot more in common with each other.

Then they did with the Rulers/Oligarchs and their pet managerial bureaucrats. Who are notable in the fact that they seize and thieve all wealth but do no work.

Communism is no longer relevant, since mass media techniques pioneered in the 50~80s and more recently intersectionality. Is more useful in spluttering the unity and attention of the low classes than communism is.

>>14554061
ideologies are a spook, they're a mirage. i'm sure you're aware of the
>it wasn't real communism
meme. that meme is eternal because communism doesn't really exist, its just a fantasy that gets put in people's heads. in the real world, nations are run by groups of unprincipled coconspirators who disguise their true intent by shrouding it with ideological fantasies.

>>14554107
>in the real world, nations are run by groups of unprincipled coconspirators who disguise their true intent by shrouding it with ideological fantasies.

The unprincipled do have ideology, but said ideology practically boils down to 1.)Committing as much incest as physically possible, without producing invalids as offspring.
2.)And Obtaining as much nepotism in society as physically possible. Without destroying the skill base that makes the development of said society possible.

Besides that a agree all ideology and all post iron age religions, are just spook bait for retards.

In 1970. No, wait, in 1980. Hold up it's actually in 1990. In 2000 for sure!!!...
this will go on forever and it'll never run out.

>>14554052
Imagine being this retarded. Capitalism forces people to honestly represent their own value. Communism forces people to be valued equally. The reality of humans is that they're not all of equal value.

>muh late stage capitalism
Yeah, America abandoned capitalism long ago for a corporate oligarchy, or rather was rug pulled by kikes. This government is on its last legs and hundreds of millions are going to burn when it all comes to a head. If you're still some retard playing for team or team blue, then you're still sipping the kool aid and will burn with them.

Oil will not simply "run out", but existing oil reserves won't be able to keep up with demand and all new sources of will require complex extraction. The result is that oil will be impractically expensive.

>>14550099
> When will oil run out?
when the jews say so

>>14550543
You do realise oil has more uses then just fuel?

>>14554253

except you are full of shit, and that isn't true at all. Oil production is going up in the US.

>>14553510
>Doesn't know what proven reserves are
you do know that proven reserves are only the CURRENTLY economically viable sources counted right?
So if the price goes up to say, $300 a barrel, the proven reserves increase.
Oil is quite literally the 3rd most abundant liquid on earth, and there are planets without life on them that have oil.
Oil is abiotic.

How does a fully grown adult come to actually believe such absolute horse shit?
I don't think you're legally retarded (you're obviously not very smart either though).. so.. how?
Are you a flat earther too?
I'd say science should look into this phenomena.. but it's more in the realm of psychology.. like why do people join cults or sign up for obvious ponzi schemes. It's interesting.

>>14555388
NTA, Some oil is likely abiotic though.
But the distinction is irrelevant, the big issue we have stems from questions of production vs usage rate so whether derived from bacterial mats or abiotic our usage rate grossly exceeds production.

Personally I'm more curious about the strange role of water.

>>14550141
As opposed to what? Free oil? You commies are so economically illiterate it's impossible to talk to you guys.

Interesting fact: biggest oil reserves in the solar system are on Titan, moon of Saturn.

If prices go up to 300 per barrel, you die like a retarded subhuman, as the means by which your able to supply your worthless life with grocery cornsyup goyim food evaporate.

If the trucks and the ships and farms don't have cheap oil, bye bye food trade and industry. All the rest of the goyim economy is grift built off that.

>>14550099

hundreds or thousands of years from now perhaps.
75% of oil is beneath the ocean, so thousands of years worth there also.
If they can run internet cables 3500 miles across the Atlantic Ocean, then pipelines up 2-5 miles from the ocean floors will be nothing to do.

>>14556293
How much oil do you think it takes to go and then transport back a large volume of material. From the ocean floor dumbass??

>>14551099
>lapis lazuli
Stupid rock name

>>14550099
Oil exploration has been going on for a century. If there were significant economic reserves to be found they would have been found by now. That means we the bulk of oil reserves is what we have got.
The vast majority of those reserves are located in Venezuela, Canada, Russia and the Middle East.
Venezuela and Canada are essentially de facto American puppets. So is much of the middle east, and when its not, it gets regularly fucked up by the Americans. Russia is presently on course for becoming a Chinese bitch.
While industry can in theory run on renewable or nuclear power the fact is distribution and transports networks will continue to rely upon fossil fuel. Electric cars and trucks are a meme. There is not enough rare earths in the world to the batteries needed to replace conventional vehicles. There will never be electric powered jet fighters, bombers or even useful tanks.
Therefore anyone who controls the remaining oil reserves will enjoy an unprecedented strategic and military advantage, let alone the advantage of retaining a 21st century economy while everyone else slips back into 19th century standards of living and uses sail boats to transport cargo.
So unless you are north American or Chinese I would advise teaching your future grandchildren to practice bending over a lot and investing in purchasing bulk supplies of Vaseline for them while you still can.

Oil is still cheap at $300. In fact the price almost doesnt matter, only the physical supply of oil. Food used to be much more expensive before and people spent most of their money on food and then other things were much cheaper to compensate. Like housing. Today food is cheap while medical care, education and housing are extremely expensive, its all meant to make sure you never have any spare money, if you had any spare money the price of something would go up to make sure you dont have that spare

The petroleum required in those quantities can be produced synthetically (i.e. without fossil fuels). However, I imagine plastic will become much more expensive causing society to transition to materials that are more recyclable

As an exercise lets fast forward 10.000 years to a point when oil, gas and coal have been depleted. The total population might have crashed to a low but that was 10.000 years ago. What type of technological society could exist in a stable world with no gas, coal and gas?

minerals need to sustain a bonze / iron age society have been thoroughly depleted by fossil fuel enabled tech.
they might be able to keep something going by mining landfills for a few millenium, but even those are a non-renewable resource.

its the 6th mass extinction.

>>14558137
Oil isn't some kind of unique technology, it's just a means of providing energy for processes. Be those of transportation or manufacturing.
The only crisis we are heading towards is an energy one. And those problems are already being addressed by alternative solutions (renewable, fusion,...).

>>14558211
Nor are any minerals destroyed in the process of refining and manufacturing. This is the basis of any chemical reaction and chemistry in itself. They are just converted into new compounds and materials.

This is, at best, a massive case of mental retardation. More likely, this person is lying. Titan is full of simple hydrocarbons and semi-simple tholins a plenty, absolutely. But these are not really comparable to the complex combination of hydrocarbons and larger, more complex molecules that make up oil. Most of those and in their blends have to come from biotic sources. You're not getting crude from Titan any sooner than you're getting water ice from Venus.

>>14558454
The only issue there is, is in refining the iron and putting the energy and work into it to create a usable product.
Iron is literally the most abundant element on our planet. Look it up.

Companies just have to act economically (which is only rational). And that's why they are so shy of switching from oil to other energy sources: investment costs/ loss of profits.

because there is no problem of metal loss.
Iron gets converted to Iron-oxide ("rust").

>What will happen when oil runs out

Transition to solar and nuclear for the majority of power production.
Batteries and synthetic fuels for energy storage.
Remaining fossil reserves will be used in industrial processes and to make petroleum products, the increased costs will see these offset by alternatives.
All of this will cause considerable political upheaval from the individual all the way up to the international scale, the war in Ukraine for example is arguably precipitated by shifting European energy politics.

>>14558574

The ultimatum of why no one cares about green energy proponents:

See this? This is one gallon of gas. Used to its full potential it will produce 132 megajoules of energy. How much energy...how much work does a human being produce in its lifetime? Maybe more, maybe less, but certainly not at the rate a liquid combustible can.

This one gallon of gas will do more work than any weenie politician on a podium, any Karen with a pipe dream or any cycling nimrod taking up traffic. Not even a hippie can burn enough pot in his life to equate to the amount of energy contained in a gallon of gas. So ask me why should I care about these retards? They aren't going to be mowing my lawn, they aren't going to be driving me to work and most of them probably are too stupid to even define what energy is in the first place.

Why should I care about them and their stupid ideas? Their health? Why should I care about their health? They're more worthless than the substance doing the work that's keeping them alive in the first place. You think any one of these people can actually survive without electricity? They can't even survive without internet, they would kill themselves without the ability for their stupid fucking opinion to be heard on the internet. Think about this the next time you talk to someone who thinks they know what society needs in terms of energy production, compare that retard to a simple gallon of gas. In most instances the shit they spew out of their mouths is more noxious than the smell of petrol itself, if only we could power society on their psychosis.

>One look at an energy density scale is all you need. The exponential difference in output is enough to justify not posting the numbers (for the benefit of green energy proponents).
Post the energy density scale

>>14561191
Note: Nuclear is not listed but is up there with fuel oil obviously. Maybe that's also why greenies also tend to be anti-nuclear, materialists jealous over another material worth more than they ever will be.

>>14561201
Gonna post the NPC sourced one too because it actually proved me wrong. If we do indeed utilize the fat metabolism of these Karens and the starbucks coffee they drink, we might just be able to match the energy of diesel.

>Nuclear is not listed but is up there with fuel oil obviously
Three questions:
What is the energy density of solar power, hydroelectric power and wind power?
What is the importance of energy density?
Why does your graph posts methane at "20 Mpa" and not in the common way it is found and piped as gas?

>What is the energy density of solar power, hydroelectric power and wind power?
It depends where they are put, what time of day/year it is. It's not on the chart because it's really not calculable given the variables of those types of energy harvesters. Those technically aren't "energy dense" in the conventional sense, they have to be "densified" through batteries and transformers in order to produce actual usable power.
>What is the importance of energy density?
It's the amount of energy that can be stored in a region of space which is vitally important for transportation and power distribution. In the instance of batteries for instance, the energy received has to be capacitized to be able to be sent through power distribution. This requires intricate and sometimes expensive materials stacked in layers which by volume and weight still don't come close to gasoline, even if "recharged" (by what I wonder) multiple times. In the case of gasoline, coal or other "burnables", it comes in the form of crude which is pure potential that simply has to be refined and is ready to be distributed at your will.
>Why does your graph posts methane at "20 Mpa" and not in the common way it is found and piped as gas?
Not sure to be honest. Just grabbed one and went with it like I said anyone else could.

>>14561428
I asked you what is the importance of energy density, not what it is. And hydroelectric power doesnt have to be stored with a battery, the water reservoir is the storage. Water reservoirs are big like lakes and i dont see why that is bad. Can you explain why big lake bad?

Joke's on fucking you, I'm not m*rican.

It doesn't take a degree in rocket science to see that the invasion of Ukraine and subsequent sanctions against Russia has a far bigger impact on price than anything else.
That's all I'm saying

>>14562346
>implying Ukraine isn't Biden's fault
Technocally true because Biden doesn't actually control anything, but it's still obviously the work of the American regime.

If everything in our society is made of oil and the huge amount of fertilizer and food we produce requires oil, what do you think will remain once that oil is removed?
Sounds to me like billions would stave, even before you consider the chaos that would ensue as people scramble desperately to try and secure their continued existence, knowing that the game of musical chairs is up.

>>14562362
Well they've been building up for the ukraine situation since at least 2014 when they staged the coup there.
Now their plans are reaching a fruition, destroy food production, cut off oil to europe and create false consensuses to eliminate domestic opposition.

>>14562603
The funny thing is that general public will eat it all up because they're either hopelessly brainwashed or just afraid to be ostracized or lose a job so they'll keep silent.
This ain't democracy imo, they don't care about the people anymore.

>>14562585
No fertilizer is made from oil and also not everthing is made from oil
Im literally living in a house made of cement, rock and steel. When does the oil kick in?

>>14562633
I think he's alluding to the logistics of the modern world which relies heavily on vehicles that operate on oil.

>>14562633
Basically all fertilizer is made is made USING oil (or other fossil fuels. Natural gas is heavily used in fertilizer production). It doesn't matter all that much if it's literally made of oil or requires oil to make it, so long as you don't have viable alternatives on the table.
That cement, rock and steel is also manufactured and transported using oil.
Can you replace all this with other sources of energy? Well, you'd have to rebuild the entire energy infrastructure to do it as well as the factories producing the goods (you don't simply re-tool a steel mill to run on electricity).

>>14562603
>they've been building up for the ukraine situation since at least 2014 when they staged the coup there.
Absolutely. I don't dispute that. Like I said, you can't blame it on one specific puppet president. All I'm saying is that the blame is directed in vaguely the right direction (the US government and its policies).

>>14562652
There are alternatives being developed for natural gas dependent industries based on 'Green hydrogen'.
Regardless of that, fertilizer production are using fossil fuels mostly as energy supplier or supplement for hydrogen (which is moot when you switch to GH). The actual production of those does not require oil as a resource.

And steel-mills have never been dependent on oil. Mostly coal and electricity (pic related).

The energy density of big lake is ridiculously low. It also releases methane from dead stuff decaying.

Energy density matters in general because it impacts how you engineer the system that uses that energy. Low energy density makes some things impractical, like battery-powered planes.
