What would our societies be without oil? Brutally transformed. We would have to quickly relearn how to produce countless things to ensure our survival.

What would our societies be like without oil? Brutally transformed No more computers, no more food from around the world, no more cars or planes, no more plastic; we would have to quickly relearn how to produce countless things to ensure our survival. But would we be capable of such self-sufficiency?

This catastrophic scenario is far from paranoid. On the contrary, it represents a near future that we will have to face sooner or later. Combined with climate change, peak oil (the end of abundant and cheap oil) demands a drastic change in our lifestyles, an energy transition that would end our collective vulnerability. Since our governments refuse to take the necessary measures, it falls to us, as citizens, to take the initiative and prepare ourselves.
