I actually think this infographic may be too generous on world reserves of oil.

  1. Nice infographic! 41 years... hopefully we don't follow through testing this timeline though.

    Also, the main links are broken, but the one for the full size image works: http://www.mnn.com/sites/default/files/user-214/A-World-Without-Oil.png

  2. This is just the energy side of the problem. Most people forget about all of the plastic we consume, also made from petroleum...

  3. They touched on household items a bit, but that's just the tip of the iceberg

  4. We can use industrial hemp. It can be used for buildings, car, fuel, food, fabric, and much more. Plus it conditions the soil and needs very little water and fertilizer. It's an extraordinary plant. Illegal to grow in America. Pretty dumb don't you think?
