Nation facing oil crisis, is there no long term solution?

My young friend, The sooner people realize that oil is not like trees that can grow again, replenish it self then it may be realized that the oil crisis isn't just going to go away! When its gone it is gone! You do the math from this link and my question to you is how much longer is it going to last. Concider at current use one of the larger untapped US fields would only last about 175 days

Everyone dances around these questions (about energy, food, global warming, pollution, inequity) which are all similar because they have a root cause. I’m afraid that all these problems really are intractable and have no solution as long as the population problem is not addressed. We will hear from the cornucopian economists about how mankind has solved these problems in the past and will solve them again. Nothing was ever solved with pessimism. I agree to a point, but the situation is fundamentally different this time. There is a limit to available resources. This is just common sense. There is a limit to the biospheres ability to absorb our waste. This is less obvious but no less true. The root cause is population. It doesn’t matter if population stabilizes at nine billion. The earth can’t handle the six we have now. Due to the increasing scarcity of resources, which follows logically if we have an increasing population, the first thing that will happen is that everything, and I mean absolutely everything needed just to live your life, is going to become fantastically expensive; and then unobtainable entirely. One of the resources which we take for granted is an unpolluted environment, this being necessary for producing the things we need like uncontaminated food and potable water. Or, possibly, in the case of carbon pollution, the ability to grow food or get water at all. Plan accordingly. I’m sorry I don’t have an answer to your question. I post here to try to raise this issue and provide a counterpoint to the denial. And I don’t mean AGW denial, I mean the general denial about man’s effect on the environment.

There's no long term solution because there was no long term crisis.

If nations has put money into R&D during the 80's and 90's (like Brazill did), they wouldn't have the problem they're having right now.

To resolve acquire demolition experts to demolish commercial airportsin large cities as well as the Jumbo Jets in them. Army Engineers might be able to do this . Miners as well as sometimes they handle explosives. This after evacuation of such airports and demolition of bulk of oil based cars on city streets.

Oil crisis can not resolve atleast in our life time but because of high demand and low supply but we can shift in alternative solution like CNG and using more public transport. we can contribute in society through using cycle etc.

there will be a solution only when anyone discover vehicles run by air. but nowadays we are having electricity bikes ok this is the another remedy.

yaa its true that still there is no solution but as we r advanced in technology in future there must be a solution for this problem.we can still over come this problem if we start using renewable sourses instide of oil . is that ok..

you know. i dont think the oil crisis will ever be solved. as the years go on there will be more demand because there will b more drivers around the world. more drivers more demand for oil.

It's u..know....like evergreen crise.....BUT...there's many ways also 2 minimize it....that solar vehicles should b put in market...& at less rate...& 1 should b friend of enviornment..& use private vehicles when needed....also 1 can use bicycle.......there r many ways BUT is just used in talks no one is truly doing it....

there's no way in which u can solve the problem of oil crisis!!!!!!!!!only alternative is renewable and alternative sources of energy
