What makes you think crude oil is not a renewable resource or that we have even scratched the surface of available crude oil that already exists on the planet? Govt actively prevents looking for more
What do you mean, America found oil in the Middle East not too long ago. Yeah, I’m partly being facetious. Truth is, wars happen over oil. You can see that now with Russia and Ukraine. Ukraine found huge deposits of oil just before Russia took Crimea in 2014. Russia is a petrostate after all, and they don’t want competition nextdoor to them. I’m not saying it’s entirely why they invaded.
When I was in my 20's I was told ,in no uncertain terms by the greatest scientific minds to ever exist that the world would be out of oil in 40 years. Well here I am 60 years old and no shortage of oil. Where is all this oil coming from?
Scientists convey what data they have at hand. They don’t have a crystal ball to see what the future will bring. Anyway, it’s better to be cautious/safe than sorry when the worlds greatest mind warn you about something. Especially for inti-intellectuals.
Every non organic thing on this earth that is not made of wood or steel is made of crude oil.
Wood and crude oil are organic, steel is not. Anyway, were you ever taught your three Rs at school? from my quick research, crude oil based rubber is recyclable. And as for plastics there are multiple ways of making them and many can also be recycled.
Quite frankly, if we run out of oil, your worries about the climate, ICE's and EV's are trivial compared to a future without crude oil.
Yeah well i’m still pissed off about the horse and buggy.
