SHIPPING AND FOOD

One day I awoke to a television program that was talking about life without oil, it was an interesting show, the producers dramatized the scenario of life without oil. No oil to fuel jets, airports were barren, no oil for electricity in cold countries, people were walking to southern climates to survive. Hospitals could not perform germ free surgeries because most of the material used in hospitals are petro derivatives.

This leads me to talk about foods, without fuel, farmers cannot do mass farming the way they would with fuel powered equipment. Factories that cann foods wouldn't be in operation, restaurants can't operate without the fuel they need now, if they do survive they'll do it primatively. Maybe with wood fire, and water that is gathered by men in buckets from nearby lakes and rivers.

Food couldn't be flown into cities that depend on commercial flights, and farmers can't export their goods without planes, they would have to find an alternative way of shipping. People who are in isolation, in someway like Hawaii, if there are no shipping companies in operation, there will be zero foods moved from California or other west coast ports.

It would possibly mean the end to modern day civilization, without our cars, vehicles would be stranded where ever it stops running. Millions of vehicles would be stranded, which means foods will not get to any destination that's far away from the farms growing it.

Everyone should try their best at saving energy- it's good for the family, watch your energy bills shrink.
