Estimates of oil reserves around the world predict what's going to happen. The price of oil will skyrocket as reserves decline..
Then what are we gonna do?
Our modern world revolves around oil and the products it produces..
We will never run out of oil, It will just be too expensive..
Supply ⬇️ and demand ⬆️ dictate price💲💲
What is going to power huge container ships? What is going to power large over the road diesel trailer tractor trailers that deliver our goods?
Jet fuel? Fertilizers? plastics? medicines?
Who you gonna call and it ain't ghostbusters...
