At the present rate of consumption, all the known oil reserves in the world will run out

9. Aaaahhh! Don't underestimate human ingenuity. And necessity is the mother of invention.

We have our scientists who will discover replacements of a similar or, even better, quality!

In the meantime with our technology of today, as many appliances, instruments, vehicles,
etc. should be made to use electricity for energy. Right now, private cars could be electric
ones, but commercial and military airplanes could continue to use gasoline, until such time
as new discoveries and inventions will come about. The amount of carbon-dependent fuels
used would drop very sharply, perhaps allowing Mother Nature to begin to recover the
balance between oxygen and carbon-gases to a healthy degree.

The whole world would be urged to join in this endeavor, of course. I can't think of
anyone disagreeing outside of corporate executives and those people who work for them.
After all, isn't the preservation of the planet and of life itself important enough for us
to make use of all efforts we can think of to bring it about?
