What to do if we run out of oil?

What to do if we run out of oil? I understand that electricy doesn't really rely on it that much, but our trains certainly carry the coal(40 percent of energy) and food certainly does. Should we decrease our need of coal and oil by going over to nuclear, wind and solar??? For transport maybe we can make "electric" trains that run on the energy grid?

I"M talking about building nuclear and other means that don't have to rely on it. Can it be done and continue having the civilization that we have today.

I found a table of some plant sources of oil and yields per acre here, but it did not transfer well, however here's the link: Vegetable Oil Yields and characteristics

Drunk Russian snowplow driver kills Total Oil exec...

Russian plane crash: snowplow driver was drunk
Oct 21,`14 -- The head of French oil giant Total SA was killed at a Moscow airport when his corporate jet collided with a snowplow whose driver was drunk, Russian investigators said Tuesday.

Total confirmed "with deep regret and sadness" that Chairman and CEO Christophe de Margerie died in the crash at Moscow's Vnukovo airport. The three other people on board, all of them French crew members, also died when the French-made Dassault Falcon 50 hit the snowplow on takeoff at 11:57 p.m. Monday. The plane crashed onto the runway and burst into flames, investigators said. The driver, who was not hurt, was operating the snowplow under the influence of alcohol, Tatyana Morozova, an official with the Investigative Committee, Russia's main investigative agency, told reporters at the airport. She said investigators are questioning the driver and also air traffic controllers and witnesses to the crash.

De Margerie, 63, was a regular fixture at international economic gatherings and one of the French business community's most outspoken and recognizable figures, with his trademark silver moustache. He was a vocal critic of sanctions against Russia, arguing that isolating Russia was bad for the global economy. He traveled regularly to Russia and recently dined in Paris with a Putin ally who is under EU sanctions. On Monday, de Margerie took part in a meeting of Russia's Foreign Investment Advisory Council with members of Russia's government and other international business executives. President Vladimir Putin extended his condolences in a telegram sent to French President Francois Hollande. Putin said de Margerie "stood at the origins of the many major joint projects that have laid the basis for the fruitful cooperation between Russia and France in the energy sphere for many years," according to a text released by the Kremlin.

The CEO of French oil giant Total SA was killed when his corporate jet collided with a snow removal machine Monday night at Moscow's Vnukovo Airport, the company said. Total "confirms with deep regret and sadness" that Chairman and CEO Christophe de Margerie died in a private plane crash at the Moscow airport, the company said in a press release dated Tuesday and posted on its website

Hollande expressed his "stupor and sadness" at the news. In a statement, he praised de Margerie for defending French industry on the global stage, and for his "independent character and original personality." De Margerie had risen through the ranks at Total, serving in several positions in the finance department and exploration and production division before becoming president of Total Middle East in 1995. He became a member of Total's policy-making executive committee in 1999, became CEO in 2007, and added the post of chairman in 2010.

He was a central figure in Total's role in the United Nations oil-for-food program in Iraq in the 1990s. Total paid a fine in the U.S. in this case, though De Margerie was acquitted on corruption charges by a French court. Paris-based Total is the fifth-largest publicly traded integrated international oil and gas company in the world, with exploration and production operations in more than 50 countries, according to a profile on the company's website. Total shares opened lower Tuesday morning after the news, then climbed slightly to 42.95 euros in early Paris trading.

Oscar de la Renta, legendary designer, dead at 82
Oct 21,`14 -- At his Fashion Week runway show in September, Oscar de la Renta sat in his usual spot: in a chair right inside the wings, where he could carefully inspect each model just as she was about to emerge in one of his sumptuous, impeccably constructed designs.

At the end of the show, the legendary designer himself emerged, supported by two of his models. He didn't walk on his own, and didn't go far, but he was beaming from ear to ear. He gave each model a peck on the cheek, and then returned to the wings, where models and staff could be heard cheering him enthusiastically. De la Renta, who dressed first ladies, socialites and Hollywood stars for more than four decades, died Monday evening at his Connecticut home at age 82, only six weeks after that runway show. But not before another high-profile honor was bestowed on him: The most famous bride in the world, Amal Alamuddin, wore a custom, off-the-shoulder de la Renta gown to wed George Clooney in Venice. Photos of the smiling designer perched on a table at the dress fitting appeared in Vogue.

De la Renta died surrounded by family, friends and "more than a few dogs," according to a handwritten statement signed by his stepdaughter Eliza Reed Bolen and her husband, Alex Bolen. The statement did not specify a cause of death, but de la Renta had spoken in the past of having cancer. "While our hearts are broken by the idea of life without Oscar, he is still very much with us. Oscar's hard work, his intelligence and his love of life are at the heart of our company," the statement said. "All that we have done, and all that we will do, is informed by his values and his spirit." The late `60s and early `70s were a defining moment in U.S. fashion as New York-based designers carved out a look of their own that was finally taken seriously by Europeans. De la Renta and his peers, including the late Bill Blass, Halston and Geoffrey Beene, defined American style - and their influence is still spotted today.

De la Renta's specialty was eveningwear, though he also was known for chic daytime suits favored by the women who would gather at the Four Seasons or Le Cirque at lunchtime. His signature looks were voluminous skirts, exquisite embroideries and rich colors. Earlier this month, first lady Michelle Obama notably wore a de la Renta dress for the first time. De la Renta had criticized her several years earlier, for not wearing an American label to a state dinner in 2011. Among Obama's predecessors favoring de la Renta were Laura Bush, who wore an icy blue gown by de la Renta to the 2005 inaugural ball, and Hillary Rodham Clinton, who wore a gold de la Renta in 1997.

What to do if we run out of oil? I understand that electricy doesn't really rely on it that much, but our trains certainly carry the coal(40 percent of energy) and food certainly does.

We won't, if we drill baby drill. There is more oil under our American feet than anyone ever thought possible. We have hundreds, if not more, years of petroleum usage available to us, yet the radical freaks desire us to suffer under under-developed technology instead. Maroons. We could frack our way into the next century, awaiting the next best alternative, but noooooOOOOOooooo, the radical Left would rather cut of our nose to spite our face.

Liberalism really is a mental disorder.

Is that why when US oil production was on the decline in 2010 and now the US is one of the top oil producers?

In 2010 oil production in the United States had been in a steady decline for close to three decades. But a mere four years later, in the spring of 2014, America officially became the #1 oil producer in the world.

Wont run out all at once like. Once it becomes apparent we're going to in however many years, we'll begin transitioning to whatever else we can use. Some things will be effected more than others though like military machines. A US aircraft carrier may be nuclear powered, but the aircraft use oil and a bloody lot of it.

What to do if we run out of oil?.

I don't know. Maybe, like, have some bar-b-que?

 

[elektra]

yes, what to do if we run out of oil, or why are we using more oil to produce more stuff that does not produce, like wind and solar?

increased consumption, millions of tons of copper electrical generators sitting idle with no wind, when those natural resources, once built into generators are better serving humanity by being used, 24 hours a day, hooked up to a nuclear power plant.

yes what to do, I know lets consume more and produce enough useless junk to cover our entire earth with solar panels.

increase consumption, who cares if we use all the oil, the liberals do not care, why should anyone else.

No. Perhaps follow the news a bit closer. Domestic oil production is up, not because of federal restrictions, but on private lands despite federal restrictions. Recall Barry Obama promised to put the coal and oil business out of business.....he's tried, but like with all else, failed.

Don't believe me (of course you don't) then look it up yourself. I ain't your daddy.

What to do if we run out of oil?

Well, you dash around like headless chickens, trying to invent and perfect alternative energy sources and uses.
Of course, you could do it now but no one will invest in the future.
