If we continue consuming conventional oil at the projected rate of increase, we will need to discover oil reserves equivalent to those of Saudi Arabia every seven years. Considering this is an unlikely reality, list four alternative options. Which option is most feasible? Explain.
What will be an ideal response?
Possible alternative options are:1. Find the necessary oil reserves.2. Lower the anticipated increased rate of consumption.3. Find fuel alternatives to conventional oil.4. Run out of oil.?#1 is highly unlikely and is not viable. #2 is possible if there is a concerted effort by government, industry, and consumer to work in that direction. #3 is possible and is reasonably likely, especially if combined with #2. #4 is very likely if significant efforts to do #1-3 are not made.?
