Oil Crash=Doomsday

SO I was just looking on this website www.lifeaftertheoilcrash.net It's insane that people live their lives the way that they do! Our civilization will likely begin to collapse in the next two years because of oil depletion. Check out the website, it's likely to change the way you view the world, and hopefully stop some people from driving unnecessarily. My advice: learn to farm and support yourself. Later --

No, there's still plenty left. It's just a lot more profitable for the oil companies to have the public believe we are getting very low.
It's there... We've gone through this before...
EDIT: One research paper leaked a few months back stated that there was a huge patch of oil...found in a different part of the Gulf of Mexico.

I picked up an old homeless/hippie dude trying to thumb a lift out here a while back... he told me that he conserves fuel by hitching...
I didn't have the heart to tell him he's not really helping the situation... he's just using somebody else's buck to get around!

I am looking forward to it, I would love to see it hqappen.
If thats what it takes to birth a new better society then bring it on.
So we will "have to" start buying locally??? Farmers markets will be booming?? We wont ship grapes 10,000 miles to have them shipped back as jam??
Sorry but I fail to see the downside other then heating issues during the winter, and we can solve those problems to, so as I said, I am waiting for it.

It takes 7 hydrocarbon calories to process 1 calorie of food. Plastic is made of petroleum products..so no plastic (the western world depends on plastic) All pesticides are made of petroleum too. So, growing those grapes will be a problem in the first place. Thankfully, there will be no shortage of ammo...catch my drift?

Oil will be around long after we are all old and dead. Anyone that believes otherwise are fucking idiots.
No proof of that nedded.

No, it takes 7hydrocarbons to produce food from OIL.
What about growing with , oh I dont know...The Sun! Done properly a greenhouse could help heat your home at the end of the day.
Anything made from the hydrocarbons in OIL can be made with the carbohydrates in Veggie oil, HEMP is the key to our future, just as it was the one plant that built our past.
We shouldnt use pesticides anyway, why do we use them?? because the way we farm is stupid, Mono-culture farming will always need chemicals, but people in India planting 5 crops at a time dont seem to need, or want pesticides. So fuck em, we are better off without them.
As for ammo well I will do what it takes to protect my family and friends, but with enough people with the knowledge of how to live after the crash, I doubt there will be a need for violence. (in some cases)

actually, its worse than that. quoted from the site,
1. The construction of an average car consumes the energy equivalent of approximately 20 barrels of oil , which equates to 840 gallons, of oil. Ultimately, the construction of a car will consume an amount of fossil fuels equivalent to twice the car?s final weight.
2. The production of one gram of microchips consumes 630 grams of fossil fuels. According to the American Chemical Society, the construction of single 32 megabyte DRAM chip requires 3.5 pounds of fossil fuels in addition to 70.5 pounds of water.
3. The construction of the average desktop computer consumes ten times its weight in fossil fuels.
4. The Environmental Literacy Council tells us that due to the "purity and sophistication of materials (needed for) a microchip, . . . the energy used in producing nine or ten computers is enough to produce an automobile."
and
Because petrochemicals are key components to much more than just the gas in your car. As geologist Dale Allen Pfeiffer points out in his article entitled, "Eating Fossil Fuels," approximately 10 calories of fossil fuels are required to produce every 1 calorie of food eaten in the US.

i dont mean to sound like a hippie, but how are we not screwed? how can you look at our civilization, and think to yourself, yes this is good, this will carry on for a very long time, and we are self sufficient. and for that, yes, you know we have to change. but the realistic fact is that we will not change until we can turn back time.

Even if we stop all this bullshit were doing its only slowing down the time the Earth will actually replinish itself and purge itself. Its will happen and I know of it but I wont live everyday hoping to change something thats irreversible. In some sense I hope all humans die for the better of the world, but untill that time comes I will live on trying to do every bit I can while still having a stable lifestyle. I just wish we would evolve into something not like humanism, something that is in thought for the Earths health but yet is able to have many pleasures as we do but differently. I just wish i was that evolution lol oh well.
