When all fossil fuels are gone, they will be gone.

That's pretty much it. They will, of course, return one day, but they can be depleted to nothing. Just like you can run out of sugar, the earth is finite and resources are limited.

There may be enough coal and gas, but running out of oil in 5 to 10 years would be traumatic, leading to a worldwide depression at the very least. There are, of course, other viable sources of energy where oil is now used, but too little development has been done. For example, there are large deposits of oil shale, even in the USA, but viable technology hasn't been as yet developed. A website called www.oilcrash.com discusses these issues extensively and parts of the site describe survival of the fittest when we begin "Running on Empty". Propaganda or good advice, I haven't decided!

Depends. If people pay head to Bush's warning about the end of Oil in 5 to 10 years, then we will be switching to bio-diesel, and go about our business.

If the people wait to switch to diesel ( like they are doing) then we will have a global depression that will never be recoved from (80 percent of the people will lose jobs, homes, cars, everthing.)

This question is as important as the effects of global warming.

1*we would have worked towards finding alternate source of energy .
2*all the car manufacturers would have stopped manufacturing cars ,instead will be rearing horses & donkeys & mules.
3*pedestrians will cross the roads without any fear.
4* Bicycle manufacturers will increase their production.
5*Since walking becomes compulsory problems of obesity,cholesterol& related diseases will be on control, doctors & specialists will lose their incomes.
6*US will withdraw its troops from Iraq & stop the war.
7*Pollution levels, global warming,ozone depletion - all will be reduced. We will be breathing pure air; respiratory problems like asthma, wheezing will be eradicated.
8*people will still try to get the fuels in black.
9*There will be long 'q's in the harbours to board the boats that sail to the US.as the airports would have closed.
10*There will be chariot & bullock cart races instead of cars in the Grand Prix'.

"Reduce, Reserve ,Save for the future.:"
This is the briefest answer I could think of.

The Thermal, Electrical energy etc. generated from coal,oil and the gas will be replaced by Solar energy & Wind energy which do not require any raw material.

look up Peak oil & Hubbards curve. the problem comes in a 5-10 years when our inclreasing demand exceeds our capacity to supply from harder to reach sources -
fossil fuels will become too expensive for general use before they are exausted.

the stone age didn't end because we ran out of stones.
there are better ways for humans to live sustainably on a finite planet; but it requires a major shift in our culture & lifestyle away from industrial growth society for this to happen.
If we don't change expect wars over resources, huge loss of life through pollution, famine, lack of water etc.

will it really?

Some well in the Kuwait area - started out producing 13-14,000 barrels a day -

Production dropped to 4K bbls/day and they capped them off to work 'better' resources.

They came back a few years later and tried the old well - and ! 8-10,000 bbls/day

NOW - where did the oil come from? Did more dinosaurs die? or is the earth making its own oil?

are we being scammed that we are 'running' out of oil
and paying the highest premium - for a renewing energy??

We will be back to our basics!
We will have to walk walk n walk.
Or probably if we get a few more Einsteins, Or when we become as intellegent as he was, we wud b using, Solar cells, Harvesting hydraulic power, HYDROGEN as fuel, or thru genetic engeneering modify existing organisms to meet human needs!
Sounds like gud idea!!

Now d picture's a bit clear............
