  • I was curious how best to cut down on our usage, if we’d be aggressive, how long we could make our oil last.

    From the EPA, seems the like roughly 40% of an oil barrel ends up being used to create gasoline source. The transportation sector accounts to 2/3 of our total oil consumption. In the transportation sector, roughly 54% of energy is used just for passenger cars. source

    If everyone in the world stopped driving gasoline cars and switched to a 100% renewable option, we would only cut our oil production by about 36%. That changes the timeline from 50 years to 78 years.

    Pretty saddening to think about. Hopefully some technology improvements for oil recycling come around quickly
