Without oil, you're naked, hungry, and homeless. How about every structure building materials are trucked, logged, water, sewer, power lines take oil to install and maintain. Roads are made with asphalt, petroleum, trucked and built by oil ran equipment.

Hopefully, California will be soon an example of what not to do. 🙏

Petroleum and affordable energy lifts societies from third work to first world.

Without petroleum, fertilizer made from N2 would be very limited. Hence, not enough food for the population

Our apparel industry would be eliminated. Well done video.

So, there's actually people with common sense in California?

Well said. Finally, someone gives a great factual presentation to the public.

Most everything people use is made with a petroleum product. Well done Aera!

This just make it sound like some modern conveniences would disappear. What would actually happen is transport and food production and supply chains would collapse if we stopped using oil tomorrow, likely ending in a famine and anarchy.

Thank you for sharing - this is great!

Although some sanity is required to address a situation, humans have survived without oil based products. We have become reliant on them and could either look to our past consider adapting out present or be innovative towards new ideas. Change is constant... its HOW we address thinfs without destroying freedoms, society and progress.

He still could've BBQ'd but he'd have to use charcoal briquets & wood---the old fashioned way.

Thank you, Aera. This is great

No oil? Just think what things were like from ABOUT, 1880 and EARLIER. That's near what we should expect life to be like without oil. Might be a good time to get some books and learn some things on how people lived back then just in case. 😱 .

Such an important message, well said! 👏👏

This is FANTASTIC!!

Problem is we simply burn almost all of it rather than producing goods and structures like this ad suggests. If oil was used primarily to produce products instead of just burning it this ad would be largely moot for hundreds of more years. We needed to solve the oil dependancy for transport and heating problems first before anything else, which largely just burns it all.

You could take out almost everything else as well. Maybe you can keep the grass and trees, if your neighbor doesn't eat them 'cuz they have no food.

they should have disappeared the whole house xD trucks had to bring all those materials up there. Hell, big machines probably leveled those hills hahaha

Most of that plastic junk has no place in my life. Petroleum products have useful properties but Tupperware and margarine are not among them.

Luckily, someone in Australia discovered a way to recycle soft plastic into crude oil. Either that or we'd run out in about 70 years.

It would set our living standard back a hundred years and the number of poor would make the great depression seem like nothing!

Well said let ‘em live without out oil for week see how they feel then. Maybe just live in a cave!

Well done Aera

No prescription medication too. ;)

Such a great video.

Explore all the medical supplies in your hospital that wouldn't exist without oil and gas.

The vehicles that digs up the minerals for the solar, wind and electric vehicles needs oil. So take that away and nothing can be created.

You would be standing out in a field with everyone completely naked. That's the crappifornia and the world's way.

There should be some efficient way of using Fossil Fuel. I don't want my whole body to be burning hot just to make money for you.

WOW sanity.

The only transition is to inevitable simplicity

Since California and liberals hate oil so much why don't petroleum truckers stop delivering oil to California?

Why aren't the conservative groups along with the Petroleum Companies creating showing more videos like this? These types of videos should also be mandatory in every school and University funded by taxpayers.

A simplistic rationale aimed at a technically illiterate audience...

Yeah but try and explain this to those brain dead protestors.

All this video shows is that A: We can't cut off oil immediately without serious ramifications; and B: The world currently relies on natural gas for a lot of things. The world does not have infinite oil, and the supply is very low in many countries. Less access to oil in your own country means more spending on importing it from foreign countries. Look at the war in Afghanistan, nearly 200,000 deaths because of a conflict largely elicited by oil. What we need to do, in order to preserve the use of oil in SOME instances, is to eliminate the major uses in areas that we CAN efficiently remove them. EVs outperform gas vehicles in every measure. Electronic equipment and tools do as well. Gas barbeques are already outdates, a lot of people use electric barbeques, oven/stovetops, many tools are electric because it's more efficient, safer for users, and being better for the environment is just an added bonus. I'm not sure how the apparel industry couldn't exist without oil. Perhaps the equipment used to make the clothes are petro-based, but that doesn't mean they can't be replaced over time with more efficient electric-powered machinery. The idea that we need oil because we currently use it is completely baseless and irrelevant. Yes we do use oil, that is why we are trying to transition out of it. It's common sense, really. We can't survive on oil forever, it will disappear. We need to ease the transition out of oil use so that when we do run out, it's not a global catastrophe for half of the industries. We NEED to use renewable energy, because it is our only source of energy that will not run out. With all the information and facts out there today, I can't comprehend how people can justify not knowing how close we actually are to running out of oil. It may not happen in the next 20 years, but it's happening extremely fast.

Should’ve also deleted the kids too……unlikely they would’ve been born.

California: "don't be us".
