It won't be easy but we can fix our oil and climate problems at the same time.
  • Nothing so dramatic as the apocalypse

    But simply letting it run down and run out is a plausible strategy. Just let the industrial age peter out. No oil, no pesticides, no drugs or medicine, no plastic no chemicals no man made fibers, no power. Just let it unwind to the 18th century. Sure the initial crash will come hard. But after that, 2 or 3 generations it will be fine. No cars, no steel, no planes, no electronics. Seems fine to me. I'll be gone and I honestly don't care what happens to you.
