The big difference between this scenario (the oil magically vanishes) and peak oil (oil gets too expensive, causing chaos to economies) is that countries wouldn't blame each other and fight over remaining supplies in the first scenario - there are much more likely to do so in the second scenario.
On other point - the electric cars at the end. Highly unlikely - too many supply chains requiring too much transport and energy to create them.
Some interesting conjecture in the video, though.
They went overboard making this an overnight event. The peak will be bad enough - and it's already begun. The oil spike in summer 2008 was the first warning shot. The economy contracted right away, and now, every time it tries to grow back, the price goes up again. At this very moment we're seeing such an event after February's positive job numbers.

Growth is very easy, just keep credit available & had Bernanke maintained low interest rates, ARMs would have worked out all right to this day. They knew peak oil was inevitable, had a rough idea when it would happen, but exactly when could only determine after fact when output plateaus. Hardest place & most expensive is deep ocean drilling & been forced there.

There is a lot of oil left. The movie misses the point of where the real danger lies. The biggest threat to our civilization is not running out of oil but the consequences of burning every last drop of it along with coal.
@dbrotman, surely you know that Peak oil is the real problem, not just the burning process? The U.S. peaked in 1970 and most people barely noticed until the Arab oil embargo (several years after we'd quietly moved to them as a huge supplier).
@NoEcologyNoEconomy I would say it is both peak oil and anthropogenic climate change. One will lead us off a cliff economically and the other will lead us off a cliff as a species. The problem with predicting peak oil is that we won't know for sure we have reached it until we see that exponential growth in prices as the demand supply gap grows on the other side of the logistic curve. But yes, you are right. We are either there or pretty damn close.
@dbrotman, I think the initial impact of peak oil will be exactly what we're seeing now, with prices rising each time the economy attempts to re-expand (an unnatural goal in itself on a finite planet). The first cycle hit in 2008.
I visualize it as someone trying to jump higher than a room's ceiling, constantly hitting their head each time and getting a reality check, i.e. "you can't afford to jump that high, give it up and face limits."
@NoEcologyNoEconomy Yes, spot on. The wild fluctuations in price since 2008 are an indication that there is hardly any excess supply left in the market which provides supporting evidence that we are at that point where the demand curve pulls away from the supply curve permanently. The demise of oil is going to have the most profound effect on our society since the industrial revolution over a hundred years ago. I don't think most people realize what's coming down the pike.
@koolgoose2 Virtually every consumer good you enjoyed is manufactured using oil or is delivered to your community on a network of oil. This is true of everyone in developed world. Oil is the foundation of the global economy, and once it's gone...freefall.
On the pace we are going we have enough oil to last us another couple of centuries. Which by then there should be enough advancements in technology to harness the true potential of other alternative resources... not that I give a fuck anyway because I will be 6 ft in the ground... unless, of course, I found some way to live forever.
It wont run out like this. It will get more and more expensive and the economy will suffer but it will not just run out some day. This is like some Hollywood movie with the big shock for entertainment. You can expect life to gradually become more and more expensive. Recession and economic collapse will be severe in the long term. But you will never wake up some day and hear the news say "We're out of oil!".
quite simply, there is NO replacement for fossil fuels, mainly oil and gas. in a year, the earth consumes the equivalent of 100,000 years of solar energy harvested by plants and animals. it's impossible to replace this motive power with solar or bio energy. 80% of the worlds electricity is fossil fueled. all plastics, all fertilizers and about half of the worlds medicines rely on them. if you're young, get used to walking or cycling.
What would perhaps greatly reduce this whole possibility in America would be to replace all those trains with new electric ones. That would have a huge positive impact on our economy i think..
When oil runs out, the coal consumption will dramatically increase while natural gas will temporarily replace petroleum. Scientists must desperately find a alternative energy source before the natural gas runs out, or we might have to drive coal powered cars.
shame someone put this effort in to a scenario that isn't gonna happen like this. Great drama in this '1 day after oil stuff' but that day will never come. The steadily rising prices will force us to stop giving up all sorts of things one at the time, the lights won't all of a sudden go out at night, one by one we'll have removed the 'extra' lightbulbs we don't really need and we might start to use the switch when we walk out of the room.
its gonna suck, but not as sudden as this scenario
odd that this video didn't mention about the Nuclear power plants Like the one in Miami, there would be no reason to shut off the power. Nuclear power can run for a long time. Electricity would have to be reduced an sanctioned but not cut off completely.
@TheMetalMissionary Well the difference between running out of oil overnight versus over a number of decades is so huge that it makes this video not what it attempts to be - a documentary. The truth is that we will never run out of oil but it will become so costly to extract it that we will start using other, cheaper sources of energy. So it's true... this show is stupid.
We will always have free oil as long as we preserve the US's puppet dictators in the oil rich middle east, and never let the people their have democracy cause they will start using that oil for their own benefits.
they didnt have to shut off the power, were still gonna have electricity, but fuck haha this shit is real, our society has grown to comfortable with our way of life believing that it is a normal way of living. America consumes more than any other nation in the world. If the whole world lived like the USA you would need something like 4 Earths or some shit to have enough resources to maintain that lifestyle!!!
They are trying to hike up the oil prices so that they can control the masses. I am not buying this! The World has a creamy nugat-like center with endless antibiotic oil supply that will last forever! Besides we have technology, like Google, to create alternative energy solutions but the oil companies looby against to maintain their high profit. As soon as Facebook and Google get in the oil business, the prices will be like $5/bbl or maybe even less or even free like their web services!
This is retarded. I fully agree that we're in deep shit and have absolutely no realistic plan on how to down size or transition to life after cheap oil, but the economic fallout once it becomes clear we've past peak will be the catalyst for trouble. Oil will run out over a period of decades, while the need for more of it continues to increase, but we'll eventually adapt. This silly bullshit only makes the problem worse by making peak oil advocates look like a bunch of hysterical nutbags.
@stb357 I agree with you there, and the oil won't "run out" and so many people wrongly assume, cheap oil will become rarer and that is the only problem. There are 175 billion barrels of recoverable oil in the tar sands of canada with today's technology, as well as over 2 trillion which will become accessable as the oil price rises, also the oil shale in colorado, the oil sands in venezuela etc, so we won't "run out" of oil, it will just be more expensive, staying at around $100 / bbl :]
With all due respect -- speaking as someone who's made an effort to educate herself about Peak Oil -- this program is needlessly and irresponsibly alarmist. The scenario presented is so extremely unlikely that it has virtually no chance of happening, because oil wells do not simply dry up overnight. That being said, humanity *must* face the fact that we do not live on a planet of infinite resources. Oil will not last forever...read up on the Hirsch Report published by the US Dep't of Energy.
I just saw this show on T.V and i was starting to get away from conspiracy's lol !! Did BP shell and pay for the production of this series i have never seen such rubbish !!!! Do they really think ppl r that stupid !!!!!!
What would happen? Maybe people would get jobs now going to machines? Maybe corporations would have to pay more money for wages to people than what they now pay for machines?
@lherre20 1 barrel of oil is equal to 25 000 men working for 1 hour. if theres more laborour then they get paid less money since there is a abundant supply.
am sorry but you people are so stupid!!! just like an ant here is some facts for you's all to think about 1we make oil from our own waste! think am wrong check out TDP! 2we also make oil from crops! 3recycled things e.g bottles bags almost everything really so people FFS please stop swallowing one of the most stupidest things ever its as stupid as saying 9/11 was carried out my Al-Qaeda THEY NEVER EXISTED!! FACTS PEOPLE!!!
People who think we can "just convert to electric cars" are insanely delusional as to how dependent upon oil we really are. You can't even lubricate those cars without petroleum products. And you can forget plastic too, because most of it comes from oil, so no plastic parts in them. No more global trade either, because that takes oil. No pop bottles, no carpets that dont cost a fortune, nothing disposable, no farm equipment to till the soil. NOTHING.

(continues) In fact you would see that it would be quite possible to use in most renewable energy in LVs of oil, cars, electricity, etc ... Only for larger companies that would be a disaster for the economy ... so do not make any attempt to be produced renewable fuel economy! And prices continue to climb at your pleasure, it is very sad!
This is a disgrace of the word Documentary...This have clearly influence influence of large companies that only survive with oil and from it! A U.S. government does not use anything that is renewable energy, and is the nation's most polluting in the world! Americans should have a say in how their country is being managed, completely against the interests of all nations, and it involved!
@xenophrenia Yes i do realize that but back then we where more used to that kind of lifesitutions. Now we mostly dont know how to survive without machinery/technology. Only the strongest will survive. Let i put it different only a few million(?) people will survive. The most will die because there isnt any food. And if theres no food you will think go somewhere else to find it. But there are no cars too, so you will be dead by the end of the week.
@xenophrenia Life was extremely difficult before oil and its associated products were available to everyone. There was slavery and that's how the hard work was done.
@shitthrowingmonkey1 - in most of the so-called 'civilized' world ... yes ... but there were many cases of cultures living just fine without slaves and such. People worked hard on farms or in much of the indigenous world - but living is quite possible without misery ... without oil.
@xenophrenia Yes, I agree that it's possible to live without it, we just wouldn't enjoy many of the wonderful things we have now. It would suck compared to what we have currently.
So...no oil = we have to start growing HEMP... simple, I don't know whay we havent been using this...oh...economics... go and look it up, you will see its perfect for this and all the climate scaremongers who pedal lies should have said this to...if they werent just liars after an agenda. Grow for Victory :)
You car dependent fat people are gonna have to get moving on a bicycle! Not to mention, if bikes become the main mean of transportation, their cost will rise!
I'm a total hippie and love the earth, I actually look forward to the day oil runs out so we can't hurt the only earth we have anymore. I don't care if I even die because of this aftermath, I'll just be happy that it will everything will turn around and we'll learn to live again.
The whole premise of this movie is idiotic. Oil isn't going to just run out one day, it will take decades of declining production. Oil fields aren't just underground lakes, it doesn't work like that.
@christo930 actually from the research done we have just aout 42 years of oil left but even if we did find some super spring in the earth that could last just about forever there would still be the issue of burning it...
@Elijahpins Taking our known reserves and dividing it by our current consumption isn't a way to calculate oil production. You can't just get oil out of the ground at whatever rate you want, it doesn't work like that. An oil well doesn't just run dry one day, it takes decades to deplete a field, it starts off slow, peaks, then declines. Also, in the beginning, oil comes out under it's own pressure, but after it peaks, it has to be pumped out and many factors limit how quickly you can get the oil.
@christo930 So while our reserves might be 42x our current yearly consumption, we couldn't possibly produce the oil that quickly. It will take many more decades probably centuries to actually get all of the recoverable oil.
@christo930 the howl premise of this show is based on sudden magical changes not realistic slow ones over time
what bugs me why is aren't scientists investigating why thousands of tons of matter can suddenly disappear? why is every body just expecting this without question in this fictional earth?
@255ad As you said, the show is based on a magical premise. Fortunately for all of us, oil production doesn't work that way and this will never happen (at this pace), but it will happen over many decades.
@christo930 I don't care if it will never happen, I like "Alien space bat" type what if situations.... although it does mean that this show has no real point
@255ad I think it would have been better if they went through the scenario that is actually going to happen and is probably already started, peak oil. Where we are used to having more and more every year with an ever growing economy, we are now going to have less and less with an ever shrinking economy.
@255ad I think it's a lot more interesting to show what is actually going to happen, but since it isn't good news, people probably wouldn't want to watch it.
@christo930 you only find find things interesting that are actually going to happen?..... good god I literally can not imagine having such a boring mind, you've really never enjoyed thinking about a "what if" scenario?
that second part is such bull shit, most shows of this type (including this one, although it's really just frivolous "what if" scenario) try to use telling the audience about an impeding disaster of some kind, as a selling point
@255ad I didn't say it wasn't interesting, I actually enjoyed it. I said it would be more interesting. I am big fan of sci-fi and I even enjoy novels with supernatural elements despite being a hard line atheist. The imagination is a terrific playground, but peak oil is past or very near and very real consequences are going to happen as a result. They missed an opportunity to get this information out there.
@christo930 my problem with a documentary like this is not so much that they it's missing an opportunity to portray something real to the audience, it's that that their treating this frivolous thought experiment as if they are in fact doing that, if they had just said
"this is just for a fun thought experiment about something that will likely never happen" I would have had no problem
@255ad So does that mean you are disappointed that they gave the impression that one day we will be producing 85mb/d and the next it's all gone?
In searching for other aftermath episodes (I wanted to find the earth not spinning but never did) I found 2 about alien attacks, those were pretty good. You might want to check them out. I very much like post-apocalyptic books, shows, movies etc. Check out "The Road" for a really good one (book), and the movie was very true to the book.
@christo930 I think it's dishonest to take what is obviously just a fin "what if ?" thought experiment and try and make it seem like it's giving people a insight on a real life event when it's really not, just to get more people to watch your channel
@255ad 25 years takes me back to being 17(god I'm old) and I don't think I watched TV or news in the same way then as I do now. Plus, cable only came to my area in 1988, so there was only 5 channels plus PBS for a total of 6 channels!
This documentary is total nonsense. This scenario of oil suddenly disappearing is absolutely unrealistic. In real world the price of oil would just go higher and higher as oilfields slowly one by one become depleted. This would stimulate usage of alternative fuels as they become more economic than oil. This proces would take years. In fact I think its begining right now. Slowly. There's plenty of oil is still out there but it's more and more expensive to get it out.
@lanmancz you also have to see it from an economic view: everyone everywhere would need alt. energy vehicles to get around also all the oil companies would close leaving even more people without jobs yes it wont be imediet but it will happen at some point
@lanmancz There is not plenty of "oil" left. What is left is mostly not oil, it's shale or tar sands or extra heavy sour oil. The high quality easy to produce oil is mostly gone and we can look forward to more expensive energy, lower consumption and probably a smaller population.
so biofuel is more important than health and food? Ever heard of vegan based diet or putting on a jumper, bring on this 'dark, dangerous winter. I do hope north America is hit this bad, then you'll al lose weight, or commit suicide first? I don't care I just keep eating sweet potatoes from my backyard and lentils from Dow. The road, using my wind up headlight, bicycle and recycled grey water when I wish, fuck the burbs.
@stalinwasright This is either a scam or a joke. If its a joke, Ha Ha. If it's "serious" how about you send me $100 and ill show you how you can be rich by getting everyone to send you money.
Well the way oil supplies are dropping soon it'll be so expensive it might as well have vanished. Because we common people won't be able to afford it.
My plan is to build a Solar Powered house not to far outside a village in europe and i'm going to have a farm. A solar powered vehicle with a wagon behind for moving bigger things, a solar powered scooter, a couple of horses, some bikes and some dog powered scooters. I'll be able to produce food and travel and i'll still have electricity. I'll collect old electronics so i can reuse parts for them to rebuild things of the past. Its all modern day technology put to good use
This won't happen over a few days, but within the next several decades. Then around 2046 assuming 1% per year consumption rate growth, oil will be severely rationed. As for transition, sorry guys but that's not possible. Transition will never fill the 40% loss of oil by 2030, or the 90% loss by 2046. There are no substitutes for oil because without oil the ERoIE's of other fuels are too low to make them economic. Nuclear will eventually run out and we'll return to the Stone Age.
@Admiralhall2000 hmm.... But considering they "still have time" and not just the "Suddenly dissapearing" (such as shown in Aftermath) shouldn't they be thinking of other alternitives? Wind power, solar power, hydro power, etc.?
The documentary is made dramatic because it ignores the few decades of transition period. Enough time for electric cars to replace existing ones, for hydro, nuclear, solar, geothermal, wind plants to become economically viable and so on.
@schmoukiz Looking at current government commitment to alternative energy and scientific predictions of oil becoming too expensive for average community in ~35 years it wont be enough time for it to be economically viable.
@schmoukiz 1. We cannot replace the car fleet with electric cars. Tesla roadster has about 2000 laptop batteries. There isnt enough lithium/rare earths so that everyone can replace their oil car. 2. the cost of mining lithium etc skyrockets on energy shortages. 3. Electricity is not oil.Electricity cannot replace oil, no matter how much we have. We already have as much electricity as we could want, its not the issue.
@schmoukiz oil will drop at 4 to8%, so that means we need alternatives to replace that and meet growth of 2 to 3% per annum.....there is no viable alternative of that scale or EROEI (energy return on energy invested) available, so we will use less....GDP will shrink...lots of un-employed...
@schmoukiz You are right. It's not going to SUDDENLY run out but their could be major purturbations and huge price hikes when demand far exceeds availability.
@schmoukiz How exactly are we going to manufacture those electric cars without oil? It's a global economy, we need to ship things in from somewhere, people wouldn't even have food and clothing because a lot of that synthetic and made from oil and shipped on oil-consuming freighters and transports and the cop cars use oil and the farm equipment uses oil if you remove oil everyone just dies. A lot of electricity comes from oil too.
anyway people, if there no electricity, and no oil.. the support systems for nuclear power plants and fuel rod stations... will essentially, implode.. a melt down.. gl everyone.. nuclear winter..
We will have 20-30 years transition period after that we will learn how to use the land again.
Today's 7bil people are result of the cheap energy (oil), and without it - we will have to reduce our numbers greatly. This means hunger, wars (even canibalism).
This will happen in the transitional period - then the survivors will build the new world.
Actually best prepared people are those who live in pure conditions today, in some isolated places - high mountains, deserts etc...
@TheSwiftTortoise the US alone produces food, enough for 2 billion people.. the fact is, as middle class populations grow all over the world, they want meat.. there are 1.2 billion cattle in the world.. also, we have yet to exploit ocean trench lines for oil.. not to mention rare minerals.. given the development of technologies in the last 10 years.. i think we can manage in the next 20 years..
@willchen19920929 NO PORN!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! SPANKTRA-VISION WILL END??? NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LOL
@troglodyte2084 Not really. It takes oil to mine the nuclear fuels and products or coal to fuel the power plants. No oil means no electricity. Not to mention that coal and nuclear are also non-renewable resources.
who's paying $16 for gas? wouldn't spend the $ on the things that your going to lose access to without petro? Your just gonna burn up that stupid gas can in a week lmao
Well there are alternatives and I'm sure that by the time we run out of oil we will have found a new alternative. After all, it took mankind half a generation to go to the moon, think of all the other things we could accomplish.
Ok, just so everyone knows, it's not that we're running out of oil, it's that it's getting harder to get to. There will ALWAYS be oil, but it may come to the point where we cant get to it. Also, we have enough in reserves to reportedly keeping going long enough to find some sort of alternative (reportedly).
The big difference between this scenario (the oil magically vanishes) and peak oil (oil gets too expensive, causing chaos to economies) is that countries wouldn't blame each other and fight over remaining supplies in the first scenario - there are much more likely to do so in the second scenario.
On other point - the electric cars at the end. Highly unlikely - too many supply chains requiring too much transport and energy to create them.

odd that this video didn't mention about the Nuclear power plants Like the one in Miami, there would be no reason to shut off the power. Nuclear power can run for a long time. Electricity would have to be reduced an sanctioned but not cut off completely.

@TheMetalMissionary Well the difference between running out of oil overnight versus over a number of decades is so huge that it makes this video not what it attempts to be - a documentary. The truth is that we will never run out of oil but it will become so costly to extract it that we will start using other, cheaper sources of energy. So it's true... this show is stupid.

This is retarded. I fully agree that we're in deep shit and have absolutely no realistic plan on how to down size or transition to life after cheap oil, but the economic fallout once it becomes clear we've past peak will be the catalyst for trouble. Oil will run out over a period of decades, while the need for more of it continues to increase, but we'll eventually adapt. This silly bullshit only makes the problem worse by making peak oil advocates look like a bunch of hysterical nutbags.

@stb357 I agree with you there, and the oil won't "run out" and so many people wrongly assume, cheap oil will become rarer and that is the only problem. There are 175 billion barrels of recoverable oil in the tar sands of canada with today's technology, as well as over 2 trillion which will become accessable as the oil price rises, also the oil shale in colorado, the oil sands in venezuela etc, so we won't "run out" of oil, it will just be more expensive, staying at around $100 / bbl :]

With all due respect -- speaking as someone who's made an effort to educate herself about Peak Oil -- this program is needlessly and irresponsibly alarmist. The scenario presented is so extremely unlikely that it has virtually no chance of happening, because oil wells do not simply dry up overnight. That being said, humanity *must* face the fact that we do not live on a planet of infinite resources. Oil will not last forever...read up on the Hirsch Report published by the US Dep't of Energy.

Elijahpins 2 months ago
@Elijahpins Taking our known reserves and dividing it by our current consumption isn't a way to calculate oil production. You can't just get oil out of the ground at whatever rate you want, it doesn't work like that. An oil well doesn't just run dry one day, it takes decades to deplete a field, it starts off slow, peaks, then declines. Also, in the beginning, oil comes out under it's own pressure, but after it peaks, it has to be pumped out and many factors limit how quickly you can get the oil.
christo930 2 months ago
@christo930 So while our reserves might be 42x our current yearly consumption, we couldn't possibly produce the oil that quickly. It will take many more decades probably centuries to actually get all of the recoverable oil.

This documentary is total nonsense. This scenario of oil suddenly disappearing is absolutely unrealistic. In real world the price of oil would just go higher and higher as oilfields slowly one by one become depleted. This would stimulate usage of alternative fuels as they become more economic than oil. This proces would take years. In fact I think its begining right now. Slowly. There's plenty of oil is still out there but it's more and more expensive to get it out.

This won't happen over a few days, but within the next several decades. Then around 2046 assuming 1% per year consumption rate growth, oil will be severely rationed. As for transition, sorry guys but that's not possible. Transition will never fill the 40% loss of oil by 2030, or the 90% loss by 2046. There are no substitutes for oil because without oil the ERoIE's of other fuels are too low to make them economic. Nuclear will eventually run out and we'll return to the Stone Age.
