This is way more serious than Covid - there it was a demand-shock. This is a supply shock - one with no alternatives. For people who aren't aware of just how much we depend on petrochemicals, see this video on the perils of peak-oil. ▶ this video Peak-oil may have proved "false" (not quite - only that Hubbert didn't expect a bimodal distribution), but this is a good time to come out of our illusions, not only about the "unlimited"-ness of oil, but also about creating societies that are so toxically dependent on oil.
All the green/peak-oil stuff is coming to a head with the Iran war. (See for eg. ▶ this video ) All thanks to our Epstein-class-alien-AI-zionist-lizard overlords.
You realize, once Petroleum runs out this century, humanity is completely screwed right ? Forget transportation/energy, our economy is chemically hooked on to it like a coke-addict. ▶ this video If the transition doesn't happen, we're looking at it dropping to 1-5% of its size now. I hope we do this before we take out the rest of the earth with our cancerous global-scale genocide of everything - animals, plants, cultures, 'different' humans, languages and cultures.
Not using it to prepare for the post-oil world is way way worse. I don't think current social - no it's not just political - structures allow for hitting the brake pedal before it is too late. ▶ this video
