There has been some foolish attempts to say liquid fuel and COAL is the bane of our existence. That we cannot continue to burn "Fossil Fuel".
OK, I'll buy that. There may come a day when it's just too expensive.
YET
We will have to have a replacement for liquid fuel currently created 99% from petroleum.
Gas, Diesel, Jet Fuel, Kerosene and a few other products of distillation.
IF tomorrow we didn't have that, a large number of things we have become dependant on would overnight disappear.
Air travel. Never such a thing as an electric airplane. Jets and planes fly on fuel.
Helicopters. No more air ambulance nor heart and kidney transplants flown across town or across the country. People will just die. In fact ambulances will be hard to find.
Freight at low rates. No More. It will be simply freight, horse or rail by wood fire. Suddenly it's 1860 all over again.
Container ships...imports from China at cheap prices...nope.
Commuting from a distance or even visiting friends or going to funerals? Not anymore without liquid fuel or coal. Electric cars might someday get up to a hundred miles. MAYBE.
Cheap electric power? NOPE. Windmills and Solar panels just can't supply enough electricity to make any difference at all.
I could go on and on, but the reality is, the whole green energy thing is a myth. IF we don't have liquid fuel...we are doomed to go back to the 1700s.
That should decrease the surplus population.
