Will we run out of oil soon?
Channel: Sven Brimstone
Date: 2017-12-03

When most organisms run out of oxygen, they die. Rather quickly, in fact. As it turns out, modern society has a similar relationship with fossil fuels, the miraculously easy (and dirty) energy we’ve built our society on. So what happens if we do run out? And how have we been responding to the issue? In this episode of Long Story Short, we’re looking at Peak Oil Theory.
