Those who don’t believe climate change is man-made, what happens when we run out of fossil fuels?

I understand your position is that pollution doesn’t significantly hurt either the environment or people’s health, and that clean energy will hurt the economy or in some way reward lazy people; however, you don’t deny, do you, that fossil fuels are a non-renewable resource? Or that we are rapidly running out of them? So, I mean, isn’t renewable energy inevitable? So mightn’t we just as well go ahead and make the transition now since it’s going to have to happen anyway? Just something I was wondering about at work this afternoon.

The cost to re-tool refineries would be in the trillions. Another issue is that 90% or more of every single thing made has a petroleum product in it somewhere somehow.

@RenaissanceMan Platics are really what we’d be wise to be saving petroleum [i]for[/i].
@QuixoticSoul I assume you meant plastics. Right. I agree.
