So... Where's the whole end thing in this now?
Well you see, if we dont get these solutions into place soon then things will get bad, like really bad. The next easiest way to acquire oil is to buy it off of other countries. But those countries might not be willing to sell the oil and then the next solution to getting at it would be to fight our way to it other words war. And were not talking about fighting 3rd world countries here, i mean countries with world military power woth nuclear weapons, rockets, tanks, and long range missles. The war will be at home this time, not in iraq or adjikistan, so i'm talking major casualties and large scale desrtuction. World war 3 will be the last war and it will be over oil unless we put these precautions into place.
What about our electricty?
fact: 50% of american house holds get power from coal power and other fossil fuels.
"Does that mean that once fossil fuels run out we'll have no electricity?" No it doesn't. it means if we don't find a solution for when we run out, we will be stuck in a bad place for a ver long time. A good idea would be to use unlimited sources of energy, like hydro plants and wind farms. They are inexpencive so your taxes will not be effected and a medium sized wind farm could power a small city. There are also many other natural energy source prototpes out there like the sea snake energy plant which uses the motion of waves to generated power. there are many ways to continue on safely with out destroying the planet or other countries for power sources.

What can we do about it?
Straight up honest truth is, nothing... There is not a stinkin' thing you can do about it. We will run out no matter what we do to conserve it. the thing we can do is be prepared for when we do run out. A good way to prepare would be to invest in 100% electric cars. "Why can't i buy hybrids instead? aren't they cheaper" you can and yes they are, but when oil disappears so do the hybrids.

How can we replace oil?
Now oil is the one if not the most used substance in the world right now, its being used at the rate of 1000 barrels per second, that's 86.4 million barrels a day thats 30758400000 barrels a year, and for the people who cant figure out that number that's 30.07 billion barrels of oil a year, thats just an estimate. Now we can clearly see what the impact with be on the economy of countries world wide when this resource dissappears. Now finding a new resource to replace oil is almost impossible, but there is one. hydrogen gas, "now isn't that what they use in bombs!?" Yes it is, but this gas that I am talking about is safe enough to use, you see it's just as capable as gasoline and deisle but safer for the atmosphere and its safer to transport. When you burn gas it gives off harmfull chemicals and carbon but when you burn hydrogen and oxygen together it gives off pure water clean enough to drink straight from the exhaust pipe, or whatever it might be stored in. Another bonus to hydrogen fuel is that its less expensive to make therefore less expensive to buy than gasoline and petroleum byproducts.
what? oil and the end?
Now most of you would be thinking, "what is this lunatic talking about? How can oil be the end of us? thats impossible." Well the cold hard truth is that it is. Oil production today has peaked at 30 billion barrels a year. now you think, " well, that just proves that we are doing just fine." We're not doing just fine, the picture above shows the amount of oil deposit discoveries in the past and the predicted amount for the future of oil discoveries, and the increasing demand for oil. this clearly states how we are NOT doing just fine.
