What would our societies be without oil? Brutally transformed. We would have to quickly relearn how to produce countless things to ensure our survival.
Description
What would our societies be without oil? Brutally transformed… No more computers, no more food from the four corners of the world, no more cars or planes, no more plastic; we would have to quickly relearn how to produce countless things to ensure our survival. But would we be capable of such autonomy?
This disaster scenario is far from paranoid. On the contrary, it represents a near future that we will have to face sooner or later. Because combined with climate change, peak oil (the end of abundant and inexpensive oil) requires a drastic change in our lifestyles, an energy transition that would put an end to our collective vulnerability. As our governments refuse to take the necessary measures, it is up to us, citizens, to take the initiative and prepare ourselves.
