Hydrogen powered doritos

What will they think of next?

Soon as in 400 years...

People that live in cuckholes like Europe and California will have cars banned waaayyy before we run out of oil.

my evo runs on e85 or 93 its more convenient using actual gas for now

Peak oil is a meme, we've been told "it's gonna happen within the decade according to specialists" since the 80s.
We keep discovering new deposits and can better access deeper ones with new extraction techniques.

Rapeseed oil, large swaths of land will have to be focused on producing it, this could revert all the global warming stuff and fix itself.

>>16271074

Go talk to somebody in the O&G sector. We have more than we know what to do with it. Even if the consumption increases people with reserves will be fine for another couple hundred years. People that need their oil shipped in might be in a bit of trouble though.

>>16270978
We will all be dead by the time that happens

All the cucks will be buying hybrids and electrics leaving more oil and fuel for the rest of us.

>>16271082
I do. But the production of it is way more trouble than refining fossil fuels, and the bigger problem is petrochemical synthetic materials. Fuel can be solved. It's the other shit that's going to be a bigger problem.

>>16270978
Yeah, but so what?

As long as it handles well, I don't care if my car is powered by a hundred farting hamsters.

I for one am looking forward to the return of steam cars.

>>16271130
I've been wondering about this to be truthful. The Doble could start from cold in 30 seconds and do modern highway speeds. It was dead quiet, excellent on emissions, and had a great condensor. This was in 1922. With actually good materials we could easily have steam cars doing 90 on the highway, easily, while both dead quiet and highly efficient.

I want to see somebody at least fucking try.

>>16271166
The most annoying thing about alternate fuels and propulsion is that no manufactorer wants to get into it because there is no supply network/infrastructure, and nobody wants to set up supplies because there are no cars for it.
So we're stuck with hybrid cuckmobiles, Tesla's borderline scam and everybody else waiting for someone else to take the lead.

plus, steam engines require loads of dials and that's my fetish

The thing about Tesla is that I believe that Musk genuinely wants proper electric cars to be a thing, and is putting whatever he can behind the company to force the market segment into being at whatever cost to him that might be. Sure, the cars kinda suck, and the infrastructure is in its infancy, but it's better than it would be if he had never done it. It's hard to tell how far along the big guy's EVs would be without Musk kicking the market open though and I readily admit that but competition is never bad.

shits gonna be expensive as hell for a long time before it finally runs out, not to mention air quality problems that we have been seeing since the 50'ies. and it won't be 400 years if the requirement for fossile fuels keeps growing as it has been up to this point, which means we should ban asian car ownership to make it happen

You only get air quality problems when you start jamming 10 million people in a place that can realistically support a million.

>which means we should ban asian car ownership to make it happen

Well they're burning leaded gas in shitty polluting 2 strokes, so yeah it would make sense. They also burn fuckloads of coal. But whatever somebody's gotta make my cheap shit.

>Classics
Flexfuel EFI refit kits will become more and more common. They even offer added power and reliability.
>Carbs
E85 carbs exist. Sure, they aren't flexfuel, but the latent heat of vaporisation on those bastards almost make it like you're running 115-120 octane race gas. Did anybody say low intake air on a blower?
>Mileage
Yeah, that's the big issue - thank fuck for the subsidies. Then again, I'd be more worried about the range than the gas mileage.

>>16275587
The problem with all the things you rebutted with is money. E85 carbs just aren't cheap, and are usually mostly plastic which will inherently deteriorate with age in a much more dramatic way than aluminum.

>>16270978
>oil will run out soon
Peak oil has been crossed in many places, but that doesn't mean oil will run out. What it means is that prices will eventually go up once the fracking supply stabilizes and the current oil producers return to their monopoly ways.

What caused the oil glut was dumping by Iran and its related owned oil companies ahead of Trump taking office. When Obama removed the blocks on iranian oil, they were a bit slow and the prices didn't dip so much. But then the Trump machine a year ago talked about reversing a lot of obama items. So you had iran hedging its bets by selling off. Normally the monopolists would have done price manipulation and got oil back up to $2.99 per gallon in the usa. But iran kept on adding oil to the market to build up their warchest. Or in iran's case, their R&D terrorism chest since asymmetric warfare is very cheap for them to do but expensive to the West countries.

Relax, retard. We aren't even close to exhausting the planet's natural supply of fossil fuels. Scientists estimate about 10% has been unearthed thus far using only the drilling techniques we have available to us at this point in time.

>>16277726
According to scientists we haven't consumed anywhere near 50% of the Earth's total oil.

Before, the problem was getting to these deposits in a cost effective manner.
Ever since Fracking was developed we have been able to access much harder to reach deposits.
The Marcellus Shale deposit was estimated to be able to feed America for like 50 years alone before it goes dry.

I doubt even your first reincarnation will have to worry.

Not in my life time and maybe in the eurofag land but here in America, we have plenty of oil and aren't gonna run out any time soon.

>>16278482

This.

There have been multiple enzymes discovered that can convert vegetable waste into refinable oil that can be used to make gas and diesel.

Mandatory composting and a few vertical farms and you'll be all set. Set up the infrastructure so there's very little transport to the refinery, use existing rail to/from refinery to transport compost. You'll clean up landfills, reduce waste and make a buck in the process.
