Some smart people are just really stupid.
Ha Ha, The stone age didn’t end cause we ran out of stones, Ha ha, yah, we’ve all heard that one. No one ever mentions that stones didn’t provide energy during that time period. Thus the argument is irrelevant.
We have exploited oil for all it’s worth. Expanding in all directions exponentially: population, economic production, energy use, food production, pollution, etc. This was only possible due to the incredible energy density of oil.
We may survive into the future, but much of the growth of the last century will not be sustainable without oil. It’s really just that simple.
No MIT degree required to understand that.
