World Without Oil: My Solution

I think that a new technology will emerge that the world will switch to for energy. Probably Orbo powered or perhaps Blacklight Power. These technologies can provide enough ridiculously cheap power for the entire world.

the world will never run out of oil it will only run out of cheap oil

Clean up the grid and use electric power. It's the only way.

I highly encourage you to consider a permaculture or sustainable farm. Instead of trying to replace our dependence with more dependence, we need to learn to live without abundant oil and energy in agriculture. Sustainable farming reduces greenhouse gasses by reducing our dependence on heavy machinery, and by planting enough to clean our air. Sustainable farming improves the fertility of the soil and encourages biodiversity, which in turn increases yield without fertilizer.

I wish you luck

Biodiesel is a flawed solution. It is still highly inefficient and oil-intensive, and mono-cropping is environmentally unsound, not to mention the fact that most soybeans are GMOs that rely on heavy pesticides and herbicides that have greater impacts on our environment than we care to think about. I commend your effort, but planting soybeans would be more of a problem than it is a solution. (continued...)

Good video. However, biofuels have their drawbacks. At best, they can only supplement the oil that's left.

Even then, we are still going to have to manage our fuel supplies *very carefully*. Meaning, radically change the way we live and work.

See my video "Peak Oil: Danger & Opportunity" for more details.

bad idea, grow a big garden with all that land. thats how you prepare.

Still a finite quantity. If we invest in the cost of extracting it, it is still a stop gap only. money better spent on an alternative.

As I was sitting here jotting down solutions, relocation and localizing was on the list. This would help, no doubt.

Interesting approach, the coop. I worked for a yr at a biodiesel pilot plant w/ used peanut oil. My 1984 VW Rabbit Diesel loved it.

I bought 5 acres in Hudspeth Co. and am starting a no till, drip irrigation, organic farm. The house is passive solar w/ wood. I'll add wind or/and solar later. Looking to convert a car to electric.

We all can that. Millions of individual solutions instead of waiting for the same system that screws us to hand us a Christmas wrapped solution. Good luck.
