            Basically all fertilizer is made is made USING oil (or other fossil fuels. Natural gas is heavily used in fertilizer production). It doesn't matter all that much if it's literally made of oil or requires oil to make it, so long as you don't have viable alternatives on the table.
            That cement, rock and steel is also manufactured and transported using oil.
            Can you replace all this with other sources of energy? Well, you'd have to rebuild the entire energy infrastructure to do it as well as the factories producing the goods (you don't simply re-tool a steel mill to run on electricity).

            There are alternatives being developed for natural gas dependent industries based on 'Green hydrogen'.
            Regardless of that, fertilizer production are using fossil fuels mostly as energy supplier or supplement for hydrogen (which is moot when you switch to GH). The actual production of those does not require oil as a resource.

            And steel-mills have never been dependent on oil. Mostly coal and electricity (pic related).

      The petroleum required in those quantities can be produced synthetically (i.e. without fossil fuels). However, I imagine plastic will become much more expensive causing society to transition to materials that are more recyclable

            Communism will never happen, not because it's useless and moronic (it is.) But because it's outlived it purpose.

            Communism was founded and funded/ artificially spread to divided the impoverished lowest class, the slighty better off working class "Lumpenproles", and the upper middle class petite bourgeois. Who upon the advent of mass literacy realized they had a lot more in common with each other.

            Then they did with the Rulers/Oligarchs and their pet managerial bureaucrats. Who are notable in the fact that they seize and thieve all wealth but do no work.

            Communism is no longer relevant, since mass media techniques pioneered in the 50~80s and more recently intersectionality. Is more useful in spluttering the unity and attention of the low classes than communism is.

            This is, at best, a massive case of mental moronation. More likely, this person is lying. Titan is full of simple hydrocarbons and semi-simple tholins a plenty, absolutely. But these are not really comparable to the complex combination of hydrocarbons and larger, more complex molecules that make up oil. Most of those and in their blends have to come from biotic sources. You're not getting crude from Titan any sooner than you're getting water ice from Venus.

          Oil is still cheap at $300. In fact the price almost doesnt matter, only the physical supply of oil. Food used to be much more expensive before and people spent most of their money on food and then other things were much cheaper to compensate. Like housing. Today food is cheap while medical care, education and housing are extremely expensive, its all meant to make sure you never have any spare money, if you had any spare money the price of something would go up to make sure you dont have that spare

    Oil exploration has been going on for a century. If there were significant economic reserves to be found they would have been found by now. That means we the bulk of oil reserves is what we have got.
    The vast majority of those reserves are located in Venezuela, Canada, Russia and the Middle East.
    Venezuela and Canada are essentially de facto American puppets. So is much of the middle east, and when its not, it gets regularly fricked up by the Americans. Russia is presently on course for becoming a Chinese b***h.
    While industry can in theory run on renewable or nuclear power the fact is distribution and transports networks will continue to rely upon fossil fuel. Electric cars and trucks are a meme. There is not enough rare earths in the world to the batteries needed to replace conventional vehicles. There will never be electric powered jet fighters, bombers or even useful tanks.
    Therefore anyone who controls the remaining oil reserves will enjoy an unprecedented strategic and military advantage, let alone the advantage of retaining a 21st century economy while everyone else slips back into 19th century standards of living and uses sail boats to transport cargo.
    So unless you are north American or Chinese I would advise teaching your future grandchildren to practice bending over a lot and investing in purchasing bulk supplies of Vaseline for them while you still can.

      As an exercise lets fast forward 10.000 years to a point when oil, gas and coal have been depleted. The total population might have crashed to a low but that was 10.000 years ago. What type of technological society could exist in a stable world with no gas, coal and oil?

      Oil isn't some kind of unique technology, it's just a means of providing energy for processes. Be those of transportation or manufacturing.
      The only crisis we are heading towards is an energy one. And those problems are already being addressed by alternative solutions (renewable, fusion,...).

      Nor are any minerals destroyed in the process of refining and manufacturing. This is the basis of any chemical reaction and chemistry in itself. They are just converted into new compounds and materials.

            The only issue there is, is in refining the iron and putting the energy and work into it to create a usable product.
            Iron is literally the most abundant element on our planet. Look it up.

            Companies just have to act economically (which is only rational). And that's why they are so shy of switching from oil to other energy sources: investment costs/ loss of profits.

            because there is no problem of metal loss.
            Iron gets converted to Iron-oxide ("rust").
            Carbon (oil, coal) gets converted to Carbon-dioxide.

    >What will happen when oil runs out

    Transition to solar and nuclear for the majority of power production.
    Batteries and synthetic fuels for energy storage.
    Remaining fossil reserves will be used in industrial processes and to make petroleum products, the increased costs will see these offset by alternatives.
    All of this will cause considerable political upheaval from the individual all the way up to the international scale, the war in Ukraine for example is arguably precipitated by shifting European energy politics.

    The ultimatum of why no one cares about green energy proponents:

    See this? This is one gallon of gas. Used to its full potential it will produce 132 megajoules of energy. How much energy...how much work does a human being produce in its lifetime? Maybe more, maybe less, but certainly not at the rate a liquid combustible can.

    This one gallon of gas will do more work than any weenie politician on a podium, any Karen with a pipe dream or any cycling nimrod taking up traffic. Not even a hippie can burn enough pot in his life to equate to the amount of energy contained in a gallon of gas. So ask me why should I care about these morons? They aren't going to be mowing my lawn, they aren't going to be driving me to work and most of them probably are too stupid to even define what energy is in the first place.

    Why should I care about them and their stupid ideas? Their health? Why should I care about their health? They're more worthless than the substance doing the work that's keeping them alive in the first place. You think any one of these people can actually survive without electricity? They can't even survive without internet, they would kill themselves without the ability for their stupid fricking opinion to be heard on the internet. Think about this the next time you talk to someone who thinks they know what society needs in terms of energy production, compare that moron to a simple gallon of gas. In most instances the shit they spew out of their mouths is more noxious than the smell of petrol itself, if only we could power society on their psychosis.

        Three questions:
        What is the energy density of solar power, hydroelectric power and wind power?
        What is the importance of energy density?
        Why does your graph posts methane at "20 Mpa" and not in the common way it is found and piped as gas?

          >What is the energy density of solar power, hydroelectric power and wind power?
          It depends where they are put, what time of day/year it is. It's not on the chart because it's really not calculable given the variables of those types of energy harvesters. Those technically aren't "energy dense" in the conventional sense, they have to be "densified" through batteries and transformers in order to produce actual usable power.
          >What is the importance of energy density?
          It's the amount of energy that can be stored in a region of space which is vitally important for transportation and power distribution. In the instance of batteries for instance, the energy received has to be capacitized to be able to be sent through power distribution. This requires intricate and sometimes expensive materials stacked in layers which by volume and weight still don't come close to gasoline, even if "recharged" (by what I wonder) multiple times. In the case of gasoline, coal or other "burnables", it comes in the form of crude which is pure potential that simply has to be refined and is ready to be distributed at your will.
          >Why does your graph posts methane at "20 Mpa" and not in the common way it is found and piped as gas?

            I asked you what is the importance of energy density, not what it is. And hydroelectric power doesnt have to be stored with a battery, the water reservoir is the storage. Water reservoirs are big like lakes and i dont see why that is bad. Can you explain why big lake bad?

            The energy density of big lake is ridiculously low. It also releases methane from dead stuff decaying.

            Energy density matters in general because it impacts how you engineer the system that uses that energy. Low energy density makes some things impractical, like battery-powered planes.
