One decent volcanic eruption and, poof, the skies are dark for a couple of years. Not completely black; just reduced available light to shine on your solar cells. Oh, and a need for you to go out and brush the ash off them every couple of orders. But job creation! Imagine the solar-panel farms need to hire panel-sweepers!
But it won't matter much that your Jack Bennymobile won't scoot because with reduced sunlight crops will fail and there'll be nothing for you to buy int he grocery store so you won't need to drive.
What fuel remains will be rationed with priority given to grave-digging backhoes (not black hoes) and hearses.
Now please excuse me. I need to get back to my research on urban improvement. Y'know, learning the most energy efficient method with which to set off a couple of dozen fucking volcanic eruptions.
