  • Brought to you by Disney... yea what ever, 2/3 rds of the population will die. More in the US as most city dwellers just won't have the skills and resoources to make it. Our next president after oil will be an Omish guy. With our new nations capitol somewhere in Ohio or Pensylvania.

  • Are there no more fossil fuels.

  • Comment removed

  • Coal is even dirtier than oil. Both need to go the way of the dinosaur. (Ironic that that's what they're made of, eh?)

  • i believe that nuclear power will be used a lot more than ethanol or any other fuel

  • @oetzi0000 We Russians already have several tens of dozens of plutonium 239/uranium 238-fuelled breeder and non-breeder BREST nuclear power plants on line while using thorium-uranium 233 light water breeder reactors to supplement their output. This is the reason why Russia, even outproducing Saudi Arabia, did not went on a spending/splurging spree, we re-invested all in nuclear power and in key critical strategic heavy industries of all kinds and vertically integrating them all completely.

  • @oetzi0000 Yes but nuclear power needs oil to generate it! Have a look at "collapse" by Michael Ruppert..

  • @adeleellie6

    hmmm, thats interesting.. i didn't know that.. i thought that they are autonomous nuclear power source unit..

  • The same Karrick Retort technology can handle all kinds of coal and shale, wt the exception of one particular type of shale. Using coal, it produces 1 barrel per ton of coal, convert coal into a smokeless high temperature producing semi-char, co-generate electricity, and the phenol byproducts sold to petrochemical industries. Why create scare tactic-based movies like this? Simple, oil companies wants to raise the price of oil for bigger profits. Politicians who knows the truth goes along wt them

  • You Americans forget you have 2,000 yrs of easily accessible coal not including the deeper coal seams not yet tapped but already surveyed. We Russians have the titanically massive Elga coal deposits composed of many thousands of coal seams, one seam alone can supply the world's present and increasing coal needs for 100 yrs. The U.S has the Karrick Retort technology, mechanically automated, can produce 1 barrel per ton of coal, simple in design and reliable. So why the scare movie film tactics?

  • No doubt the immigrants will still find a way to get to the UK..

  • oil its runing out the nasa says oil should run out until 2020-25

  • Oil will run out eventually and we need to conserve it for future generations.

  • Comment removed

  • Problems with this documentary: Oil will not "run out". This program does not accurately capture the issue of Peak oil. The program does not discuss issues regarding suburbia and walkable communities. The ending is utterly unrealistic. We are going back to the 18th century.

  • @PfunkGW Not all nations will be like that,many nations happen to depend on other means of energy!But unfortunatly many nations will go to 18th century as you said!

  • did anyone notice it jump at about 9:20

  • Where's the goddamn wars? I would expect at least a few nukes going off as the other countries fight for resources.

  • @TheVoiceOfReason93 nukes need petroil to be launched, and anyway if they throw nukes in countries with petroil left they would be able to reach them because of radiations and no transport to bring them there.

  • there are two probable outcomes: 1 new fuel alternatives are discovered and used. 2. It goes right madmax road warrior.

  • what about nuclear energy?

  • @mikezzknight , they ignored a lot of facts in this presentation. One being that any minerals have to be mined and refined...and that cannot be done with any bio fuels. Not in the millions of tons of material to be moved to get a few thousand tons of minerals. Reality was not a part of this piece of advertising for bio-fuels.

  • this outlook is far too nice and benign

    there would be a huge die off and roaming gangs of thugs that would ssteal for food and supplies

  • You are correct! None of this would happen if it ended overnight. People would not abandon their families to go to work at factories, power plants or hospitals, if they could even get there. This looked like a pitch for bio-diesel and nothing more.

  • Comment removed

  • ok if tis happend and the power went out when i was playing vidio games i would say nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­o fucking shit no more oil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooo

  • This is if oil ran out fully with no notice which is never going to happen! We have time to prepair if our goverments wernt such good friends with big oil!

  • Someone got paid to do this?! Seriously?!

  • ah.....Nuclear power anyone? The power of the sun? Just have the nuclear power sector commercialized and we will keep on advancing. Become immortals and further explore the outer space and all that.

  • yeah the ending is just utopian, it would never happen like that.

  • @dryice100 I think the whole this was fantasy. Reality would have riots in the streets long before winter. There would be no orderly lines at food stores or fuel stations. There would be breaking and entering and dead cops if anything.

  • Bullshit. The answer is Steampunk not lame hippy tech.

  • this final part is TOO OPTIMISTIC

  • @unarisataviseppellir Exactly - how are they gonna generate the electricity without oil?

  • @adeleellie6 they can with energy from the sun, the wind, the sea currents, etc....

  • This is a granola piece of crap.

  • What this program doesn't mention is the fact that in addition to precious metals, a lot of personal electronics also contain chemicals such as lead and mercury which are harmful to humans. Do the research -- the truth is that right now, the United States dumps quite a lot of its discarded electronics in African countries simply because it's cheap to do so, and quite a few children who go through these dump sites in order to earn money by scavenging precious metals become sick.

  • Good thing we have our own Farm ,we grow our Food , not all but mutch

  • The world won't 'run out' but demand growth will out-pace supply growth and eventually daily global production will begin its remorseless decline. This is a mathematical certainty. It's a sad truth about human nature that we tend not to want to deal with the long-term challenges of peak oil and global warming until the procrastination penalties are right in our faces. At that point, of course, it's too late to avoid serious pain.

  • @sdavis3398

    I think You are Right- Good Comment

  • @sdavis3398 -- Indeed. The Hirsch Report, published in 2005 by the US Dep't of Energy, stated that we should not be asking *if* Peak Oil will happen, but rather *when* it will happen. The report also estimates that we need to begin the transition to alternate fuels within twenty years of the Hubbert Peak in order to keep the impact on our society to a minimum -- ten years in advance to make the transition with some unavoidable sacrifices. Anything less and impacts will be severe.

  • Not a single engineer was consulted on this entire video. If somehow oil magically vanished overnight, the united states could be rewired on nuclear electricity in 3 months. Cars are being made today (not theoretical prototypes) that function on hydrogen fuel cell technology. In less than a year, all energy consumption could be switched over to hydrogen produced by solar energy.

  • @shadowstorm1989

    you're forgetting the part where manufacturing will stop as well, because the machinery relies on oil to run and not just for fuel.

  • @pavelkrioukov That's why there's natural gas, recyclable plastics, coal, vegetable oil etc. Where there's a will, there's a way, and worldwide resource crises are pretty good motivators.

  • Total oil propaganda video! The message of the film is that it will take us 40 years to figure out that local food production is more efficient. Humans make too much crap as it is. Our lives seem to be centered around economic activity. We are like super-locusts on the earth. Every person should be able to produce the basics of life: food, water, shelter, energy. Pollution is not necessary and neither is oil.

  • Oil doesn't need to be eliminated or seen as a poluting monster, instead reduce world population by 75% and keep it that way forever, only productive members of the new world allow to exist and all the other worthless eaters(Like me . :) gone to hell. Also eliminate all criminals, politicians, cops and the military. And to finish my wish list only one race to exterminate all others, I'll be the one selling tickets to hell, that will be the place to party, enjoy.

  • @lobo25usn

    you'll be the first one to go.

  • Nothing about nuclear power making a revival?? Without oil and without nuclear the earth can never sustain 7 billion people.

  • @Martijn31can I think it is hard to tell because our current organisational systems are inefficient. What might be a limit to what we have now could be half way to what the actual carrying capacity of earth is providing we were to live efficiently. With localisation and subsistence, I think it's more likely that a very large number of people could survive sustainably.

  • bullshit!!

  • One thing that we have learned from the most recent economic crisis is that when the financial market falls, the entire economy will fall. This program only focuses on the "technical" side of fuel but doesn't talk much about the economic impact. Without fuel, without trade, most (if not all) of the listed companies will be bankrupted. The entire financial system will collapse. People's savings disappeared. We won't make it to 10 years after oil disappeared.

  • Aaaahhh! Bollox! I thought they'de be more death and destruction I'n this

  • One thing we are sure of: The world may never ever run out of oil!! Its impossible to life without oil!!

  • @Taylor3006b Amen, brother. 

  • well its not gonna disapear in a sundden but slowly, givin us enought time to find alternates before its gone. i think finding alternates is betta than invadin arabs. howeva invadin arabs to end terrorism is a betta reason :D

  • You know that carbon fiber needs resin which is actually made from oil :D

  • 9:28 Look, there is some happiness in the world. That building is smiling.

  • An easy way to get metals for trade is to take a 5 dollar bill down to your bank and cash it in for a wad of pennies, the copper in the pennies is worth more than the paper money you have, now.

  • Without diesel-powered electricity nuclear waste would become unstable, right? You have to keep the waste cool for years and years. So... we'd all die out from nuclear explosions because all this happened.

  • @blackberrypatch

    I don't believe there will be anykind of explosion. When you don't have machines pumping in fresh water due to lack of lubricants made of oil to keep it running, the fail safe system kicks in. But radiation leakage could possibly occur.

  • @mtthwcss this world didn't seem better off without oil to me

  • @SURFINZORCH001 yeah the the thing is we don't get all our information about economy from the government, if what you said was true someone else would have noticed

  • Oil will dried out from the ground and under beneath the water someday. When that happen people will start to get panic or scared. There will be war interrupted over oil probably in Middle East oil and Caspian Sea that has tons of oil but the won't happen as long there is Alternative & Renewable energy.

    The Alternative and Renewable energy like Solar Power / Solar Energy, Coal, Wind Power, Algae bio fuel, Algae biodiesel, Fossil Fuel, Natural Gas, Geothermal energy, Biomass, and Hydrogen.

  • Comment removed

  • First, Oil won't suddenly run out. OTOH, the decline has already begun. Get real or die.

    Second, if it did, they'd be MASS panic (chaos) within hours or days, not months and years

    Third, Food IS OIL, You are Food. Therefore, you are crude.

    Forth, Bye bye misery monkeys. Good FKN riddance.

    "You can ignore reality, but you can't ignore the consequences of ignoring reality.” - Ayn Rand

  • @lonewolfmtnz "Second, if it did, they'd be MASS panic (chaos) within hours or days, not months and years" what's that assertion based on?

  • @255ad Monkey madness (consistent realtime observations or apishness). Shit is a weapon. So, Fling your feces, oh ye malevolent misery monkeys. Remember, fresh is best. Aim for the eyes.

  • @lonewolfmtnz when has that ever happened over any disaster?

  • this must have been made by the corn/ethenal lobbyists...

  • What a bunch of fairy tale horse shit... when the food runs out utter chaos will be the new normal. Humans will be the new cow.

  • There so many holes in this video. Biofuel like ethanol takes about as much energy to produce as it generates. With out cheap plentiful oil as a platform, we cannot transition over to renewable energy. And even if we did it would still be enormously expensive.

  • @amandine512 yeah but the power to produce the ethanol is coming from coal power plants, you can't just plug cars into the the grid directly

  • @amandine512

    Not necessarily true, look at Valcent, they seemed to have created a very efficient way of extracting biofuel from algae in module-based closed systems. If given one-tenth the land perimeter that of New Mexico, they can meet the demands of the US economy.

  • @NaziGOPBallmer

    It's about scale. I seriously doubt that new technology like this even if feasable on an ERoEI basis can be brought to the scale needed to meet demand.

    I think we will know in a few short years if technology will save us. They better get crackin.

  • @amandine512

    Oh I'm pretty sure we've had the technology for a long while now. The major problem that such innovations like these don't come to fruition anytime sooner is because there are those who want to greenwash these alternative energy for the sake of keeping hold of their power like the oil barons. They often invest in politicians to make sure they continue to stay rich at the expense of the powerless.

  • well the people before us lived without oil so we can do it too we finally get to ride on horses trough the city without being called weirdos xD

  • @Rhexx18 there is to to many of us now for that to work

  • lies it wouldnt be a happy ending

  • 05:44 to skip what you saw in the last part

  • A very over the top happy ending. I think there'd be rioting and looting more than human togetherness and rebuilding.

  • Yeah, like that ending's going to happen...

  • Nice videos man,thx for sharing.

  • Problem with the electric car thing:

    Without the grid, where do you get the electricity for your electric car?

  • @Criz19710819 Renewable energy as they said in the film. Did you watch it?

  • @ScottishPoliceVideos You're a real idiot if you think there is any source of energy on Earth that can make up for the loss of the oil we use today.

    If you combined all the crops in the world to make bio-fuels like ethanol, built as many solar panels and wind turbines as your resources allow, they wouldn't be enough for one tenth of the world's population to survive. Oil is not replaceable. It's just a matter of quantity.

  • @terminator847 really what about coal, shale fossil fuels there are huge levels of nitrogen, and natural gas, there are trillions of tons of differnt types of gasses in the earth crust that can be as prodective as oil the issue would be they are still all green house gases, the video is stupid because coal can be turned into oil, there is more oil in the form of shale in the western US than the whole of the middle east for 4 us bucks a galloon.

  • @ASexyChef true we will be able to live as they lived in the 19th century coal years, and in the 19th century the world's population was one tenth what it is today, and all countries were mostly isolated from eachother

    And the middle east does have most of the oil in the world(thankfully our corrupt puppet dictators over there make sure the oil keeps flowing at very low prices)

  • @terminator847 Wow you do not grasp do you, that we can convert coal into actual gas do you,we are not going to have to go back to old steam trains, and using horse carts, the end of days type after view of no more liquid oil is bullshit, we have easily in coal in the USA 300 years of energy just from COAL, we have huge areas with naturals gasses, just coal we can support 400 million americans for 300 years, wake up its about climate change, that the issue, fuel would cost more, but we have it.

  • @terminator847 what is coming to the end, is really cheap oil, pure liquid oil were you just stick a pipe in the ground and it comes gushing the the surface is over, and its really cheap to produce that way, with coal, you have to convert it, so that process means only when it reaches more than 4 bucks a gallon does it become profitable and thus realistic to convert coal or other things into GAS, but we still can and we still have once again 300 years of coal in the USA I hope you grasp it now??

  • @ASexyChef Then I guess you're right and the people who made this documentary above that we both watched are lyers, since you probably saw all the figures and made all the calculations,right?

  • @terminator847 I have studied this issue allot but not even a touch to as much as my brother who is an environmental engineer, do you want me to send you info that talks about the fact there is tech more oil in the western USA in the form of shale, which cost allot to process into oil, like oil needs to be 4 to 5 bucks a gallon to convert that into it, but yes the makers of this video are idiots. Some aspects are true like it took billions of years to make the fossil fuels, green house effect

  • @terminator847 If we burn too much carbon rich fuel we will have the same conditions we had at a time, when more life went extinct than with the dinosaurs, people are not sure the reason why I can not remember the name of that erra off hand, but there been mass extensions before, that the ones who study it fear it was a run away green house that caused climate to change to dramatically, and 96 to 98 of all life died, and all we really know was there was allot of carbon in the atmosphere than.

  • @terminator847 I did not use their calculations at all, they are only talking about liquid oil in this documentary, they ignore all the other sources of what are fossil fuels out there, you do have coal, natural gas, methane in huge levels along with more oil once again than the whole of the middle east in the western USA, but its in the form of rock. So you have to process it out of it, and back when I did study it was 4 to 5 dollars a gallon but that could be more now with inflation!

  • @ASexyChef Yes, there is plenty of energy left in coal but coal is the dirtiest of the 3 fossil fuels so to simply list it as a feasible energy resource ignores all the consequences of its combustion. And natural gas is not a cake walk either. Huge reserves here in the U.S. but hydraulic-fracturing or "fracking" has not been proven safe. There are reports of contaminated aquifers where fracking is used.

  • @dbrotman Coal is maybe the most dirty of the carbon based fuels when talking about green house gas but there are actual some that do far worse than coal when talking about green house gases, those are the ones many who want to terriform mars one day would use which has like 1,000 the effect for the same amount as carbon for holding in warmth. I never stated that we in the west would want to keep using fossil fuels only the premise we are running out is wrong, I would prefer more solar myself.

  • @ASexyChef Really, interesting. What is dirtier than coal? I am really curious about that.

  • @dbrotman It depends what we are talking about, take methane, its produced by all living things yet it is worse than carbon dioxide, as a green house gas, there are natural sources for it, but many who debate the raising of cattle, tend to point to methane is why its bad, Nitrous oxide, Sulfur Dioxide and those are linked to issues with acid rain, so dirtier depends on what you are talking about, green house gases, effect on O zone, so dirtier is a relative term,

  • @ASexyChef Correct. Methane is worse in its heat trapping properties. But methane is not a fossil fuel. Rather it is a byproduct of a warming planet. The polar ice caps and Siberian tundra contain massive stores of methane from decayed plant matter that will be released into the atmosphere as the ice melts creating a positive feedback effect. A Russian team recently observed giant plumes of methane bubbling up to the surface in the North Pole. A very ominous sign.

  • @dbrotman Google Fossil fuel wikipedia, there it states methane is a fossil fuel, today we reclaim it from dumpsites, and even some farms take it from the cattle poo, and I think there are even places that take it from human bi products today. All the later would not be considered fossil fuels...

  • @ASexyChef greenhouse gases did not cause the hole in the o-zone, it was ferons in fridges and such. greenhouse gases thicken the atmosphere. that's a very common misconception.

  • @ASexyChef sorry, you were right and I was wrong

  • @ASexyChef you've got 300 years at current usage. when it has to replace oil and gas that number will plummet. energywise, one tonne of coal is the equivalent of about 5 barrels of oil.

  • @raverdeath100 Yet we have who knows how much fuel with things like frozen meth, which could actually leak out if the world heats up too much, but there is right now huge levels of the stuff right under the ocean, what about the fact that there is more oil in the form of shale in Colorado, Utah, Arizona, etc. Liquid oil will be gone there are allot of other fuels we can use but the green house effect is still the issue, what that will do to the climate, the cost of fuel will not be that cheap.

  • @ASexyChef i agree, there are other sources. frozen methane is incredibly hard to utilise because it only exists in a delicate balance with the surrounding environment. slight disturbances can cause massive releases into the air, and most of it is in hard to get to areas. oil shale takes enormous amounts of water and energy to extract, not to mention local tectonic problems. we could eke out the remains of FF for a century or so but at greatly reduced amounts. fusion power is the...

  • @ASexyChef best bet, but that is probably decades away. i'm not doom and gloom about this, i look at it as an opportunity to improve our style of living. we are still living in the stone age. everything we use, we dig out of the ground. with biotech, nano and meta technology, the 21st century could usher in a whole new way for societies to develop. i can imagine a hell of a lot and if I can imagine it, it will probably be possible. our way of life is obsolete.

  • @Criz19710819 I'll give you 40 years to think of a solution to that.

  • @Criz19710819 just because the US is run on coal to produce electricity doesnt mean other places dont have renewable sources of electrical energy

  • @Criz19710819 How is that an issue with a world without oil, most of the grid is powered by coal, and we have hundreds of years of coal in the US, the show ignores the fact that we can turn both coal into gas and there is more oil in the west US in the form of shale than the whole of the middle east, so even if all oil is gone we can convert that for 4 bucks a galloon, the issue is global warming the cause of that no the lack of fossil fuels there are enough to last.

  • @Criz19710819 Very valid point. Most people won't be able to, others may get them from solar power. I just recently fortified my food storage and installed another solar panel to put me off the grid, so my power would come from the sun.

  • We are at our very best when things are worst. :quote from Starman.

  • if the oil runs out they will finally get off there asses and start using hydrogen engines. the end.

  • whats up with the cuts?

  • we will have to eat those meaces (feaces in the form of meat) burgers created by that japanese scientist if our cattle die cause we cant feed them, look this guy up. i saw it on cnn.com

  • actually when they use all the water then what XD there will be no more agile

  • im suprised they didnt talk about water treatment once in these vids.

    

  • China invades Tibet 40 years later? Nonsense. That will happen in 2012!

  • Oh my god, we are gonna die!

  • You must all accept the new world order

  • @sim0b you mean the one that is in ruins in this video?

  • I like how they put a positive spin on this. In reality, billions will die.

    Cept me.

    Last man on the cinder. :)

  • every single senator and congressman must watch this. really get started on this fast, so when that day comes...

  • One question...what happens if algae runs out..

  • @The18Jake its renewable... you can grow it.

  • @youdripblood If billions of drums of oil can run out this fast,the world wouldn't re-supply itself fast enough to efficiently use algae.

  • @The18Jake

    LOL!

  • @BigMeatySteamer It would be terrible, but the middle country would survive if you got a few chickens and hid yourself.

  • I am not sure that there would really be a happy ending.

    I think Mad max would probably be closer to the mark.

  • @bustermk2

    That's what I was thinking, but the Mad Max scenario is a world where no alternative energy gets implemented. The only thing I disagree with this documentary video is that algae was being implemented as the final solution to the post-industrial future. Given that we know at this minute how much oil algae can produce in such efficient manner, it would be used as an early adopter to replace petrol if it disappeared all of a sudden.

  • Uh satellites are launched into space using liquid hydrogen, and other materials. They are no way related to oil unless if oil is used to process them.

  • FUNNY. I SEE PLASTIC ON THESE NEW CARS. BUT PLASTIC DISAPPEARED WHEN OIL RUN OUT. WTF?

  • @55atras

    It might be metal for all we know.

  • @55atras Um recycle DUH well that or more likely Hollywood Magic LOL glad I wasn't the only one that caught that

  • @55atras

    I suspect that plastic and latex could possibly be produced by algae. If you can turn petrol oil into these materials, it's possible you can do it with algae.

  • this video is definitely biased towards life is better without technology

  • People on that tv show Hoarders are mocked, but I bet they'll do just fine when this happens.

  • This whole show is like the Neocon's masturbatory wet dream. Dick Cheney is watching this somewhere going "Quarantined areas with fatal diseases?.... oooooo! ooooo! ....and no medicine or doctors to treat the sick? oooo! ooo! ...don't stop!"

  • What the hell is with NYC crumbling? NYC has one of the largest rail links in the world with several huge stations. NYC wouldn't be falling apart, because of it's huge rail network.

  • @America100000able The only thing I can think of is that the high rises might be inhabitable if you have no power for heating, cooling, ventilation, elevators, stoves and refrigerators. However, everyone seems to agree that high density living is the wave of the future.

  • It's all spin in the end. That bit about bio-fuels based on algae is pure fantasy. Scientific American reports in 1/22/2010, it would require "copious amounts of fertilizer".

  •  We came from farming, we will return to farming

  • They're making things seem way too dramatic. People over 200 years ago lived fine without oil. Just adopt what they did to survive.

  • @ElBarto3131

    Indeed,humanity has survived without oil for thousands of years. And we will find a way to do so again.

  • @ElBarto3131 Good point but a lot of people wouldn't have a clue how to survive. People 200 years ago were taught growing up---they started young, almost like an apprenticeship under their parents. It was just as how the Amish are still today.

  • @jaymelee23

    Well, just go to the Amish for help.

  • Yep, people with try to replace oil with lithium.

  • This episode is kind of stupid..... the immediate aftermath will be massive, but the world will recover in less than ten years to normal..... Nothing about solar energy, hydroelectricity, wind mills, and most importantly......... nuclear energy will meet our need in less than ten years......... the whole world will run on nuclear energy, not algae biofuel or lithium batteries.

  • This video is making things too dramatic. Whats up with the crumbling cities? Just switch resources people!!!

  • So air travel will revert to blimps and zeppelins? AWESOME!

  • Whats not touched enough is that long before we get to this you'll have rescource wars. The US would almost certainly be prepared to go to war to guarantee a supply (Iraq, Kuwait, Panama, Suez amongst others as examples).

  • @celticseahorse It was touched at all. You are 100% right. The usa, along with china and russia will certainly be converging on the middle east, which would most likely result in a war between the usa, russia, and china for the rights to take the oil. And if a war against those three happens, we wont have to worry about oil, because eventually one of them is going to start to lose, get desperate, and drop a nuke. Once one nuke is dropped, forget about it, nukes will be dropped everywhere.

  • Plain bullshit. Satellites not being replaced because there is no more fuel. Okay, some rocket engines use kerosene (RP-1, but there is liquid hydrogen, solid fuels, monopropellants, etc. As of today, some satellites are launched without fuel.
