in the event of the planet's oil resources running out. Havent really thought about this, the question has just come into my head: but when the oil runs out how will folks get about?

I enjoy para gliding so if i could i would use this to move arround. A bit far to do UK - Thailand in but you never know.
Barges as far as the Oriental and rickshaws from there.
Sailing ships. Worked before, will work again.
...by the time it gets that severe, aliens from outspace will (by then) take pity on our primitiveness (and stupidity) and share their knowledge on an alternative fuel...
And what are the barges supposed to run on, pray tell?Originally Posted by 555
oil produces not just gasoline but everything from soap to plastics, I'm sure there will be an alternative. But bees who produce honey are apparently in short supply due to some kind of virus killing or interrupting the lives of bees. Apparently, they are not "working" and just leaving their nests and the poor ole Queen Bee is being killed off. If this continues at the rate it does, the whole world will dire, we rely on bees to pollinate the crops, if that doesn't happen then we are in trouble.
Blimps... :cat:
What does homintern have to do with it?
Barges are traditionally towed by horses or other beasts of burden - hence the term "tow path" for the track running alongside a canal.And what are the barges supposed to run on, pray tell?
"The fruits of peace and tranquility... are the greatest goods... while those of its opposite, strife, are unbearable evils. Hence we ought to wish for peace, to seek it if we do not already have it, to conserve it once it is attained, and to repel with all our strength the strife which is opposed to it. To this end individual[s]... and in even greater degree groups and communities are obliged to help one another... from the bond or law of human society." [Marsilio dei Mainardini (c.1275-1342), Defensor Pacis]
