it's getting to a very serious stage, the oil crisis.
the educated people in the field will tell you that the supply of oil worldwide will come to an apex very soon and downhill from there on, if not already. all the possible places that they have investigated for oil, from deserts to the deep seas and big basins, have been dug and whatever profitable has been brought out from under the ground. the undiscovered region is finite and with china and india's booming consumption of oil, we are already utilising more than production capabilities every day.
can you imagine a world without crude oil? all transportation will come to a standstill. no big deal, i'll just stop driving, you say? ALL transportations will come to a stop. no more buses. you can't get to your nearest supermarket to replenish your food. forget that, farmers won't even be able to deliver their harvest to the middlemen. supermarket racks will be all empty. no more rubbish truck. your front lawn will be piled up high with waste and decaying organisms. no more ambulances. you can lay there bleeding to death, one drop at a time and nobody can get you to the hospital. doesn't matter, because no one is working in the hospital. no more going to work, hence no more pay. no indah water truck to discharge your waste so your wc is stuffed full of crap to the brim. EVERYTHING comes to a standstill.
sounds a little scary, doesn't it? well, i'm telling you that the end is very very near. almost round the corner.
and you know how i know?
because all the drivers infront of me refuse to step on the accelerator!!!! why else will they crawl like a tortoise on the highways and byways if not for petrol conservation??!!! *conspirative voice* i think they know something i don't.
move it, tortoise!

come move to LM's world. We don't use any of your primitive stuff like gas/diesel. We use abundant and free energy like gravity/anti-gravity to help propel our spaceships.
dear monty: but i like my slitty eyes, beautiful smile and stubby nose!! if i look at your people long enough, i'm going to turn into another gray skinned, popping eyed, noseless, antenna-ed resident!!
btw, gravity and anti-gravity means u can only go up and down. how abt forward and backward? u wait for wind? only, there's no wind in mars.
are u trying to be intelligent yet funny? hahahaha....
without oil... we will not only lose cars... we will lose electricity. let us not worried about the world supply... let us worry about our country's supply. it's worrying... if you know how much our government revenue is derived from there.
stop driving, go back to horse drawn wagons! :P
dear zewt: i don't try....i just am! hehehe.
at the moment, our country's electricity supply is still very much powered by oil but not so globally. there are many alternatives to electricity generation and some of the are very successful, replacing a portion of the great demand for electricity based on oil generation...but they haven't found a very good alternative for transportation oil consumption yet. yes, there's bio-diesel and all...but it's not quite there yet. so, globally, it's still the transportation that people are most worried about. countries like america and uk have long ago reached their peak and have declining oil output, but they are still on the map, not obliterated into oblivion. so, don't worry so much, we'll survive. maybe not developing at such rate as we are now, but we won't die. for all you know, oil consumption will be replaced by another invention then. ???? who knows!
dear wuching: except who will scoop up all the shit on the road???? ewwwwww *pinching nose in disgust*
You sound quite technically and futuristically correct.
Are you some kind of an oilman, analyst or psychic?
You sound like you are blogging in your car while waiting the rest to step on their accelerators.
dear licky: hehe, good authors do research. nah, was just reading a book titled 'the last oil shock'. sounds pro hor? hehe
dear pooh: haha, was just thinking of it whilst driving. the actual blogging is behind the desk, safe and sound *grins*
This ME sounds like an Ah lian with her loud car tailgating some poor soul on the roads. sigh.
