You should get off your high horse and stop being abrasive over literal nothingness. I have no real reason to defend myself against that claim because it's already covered in the preface I already described:
We use oil because it's cheaper to do so.
Now, some of that cheapness does come given there has been plenty of lobbying on part of the oil overlords preventing proper research and development of other options, but despite all that, greener methods are continuing to flourish.
It's not even like I'm specifically saying you're wrong, just that you are being hyperbolic in your doomspeaking and not really bringing productive discussion to the table. With your extremist
>Once we run out of oil, humanity is dead.
attitude, you're effectively doing the same as a zealous preacher standing on a corner proclaiming that the world will soon be burnt to a crisp so that we shall atone for all of our sins, like mixing whites and blacks and getting creative with which holes we put penises in.
In the worst case scenario that our resources do drop off the face of the earth with no recoverable routes, then society will simply change to accomodate this as we have many times in the past. Our whole service-focused hypereconomy is very much a new thing for us anyway.
Besides all that, if you REALLY want to be a doomspeaker, then why are you focusing on oil like that? If you want to take on the impending doom attitude, you could much more relevantly focus on climate change and how we've already crossed a cataclysmic level which will, within the span of a few decades, overheat the oceans to the point that all of the plantlife contained inside will die, thereby destroying the world's oxygen supplies. I've seen that making the rounds of various medias, and it's easy to digest and scare people. No reason you have to get complex and require people to understand the process plastic is made to understand how we're all going to die in our own feces or whatever.
