Your entire world structure is built on a finite resource. The infrastructure that uses this resource and everything that comes out of it are generating ecological consequences down the line. If your political ideology doesn't take this into account it's not a serious thing.

I’m all about taking care of the environment but natural resource concerns are bunk - long history of this. Scarcity of resources isn’t a real problem. I know this sounds shocking but it’s 100% true.

I'm talking about petroleum specifically. It's not infinite, therefore unless conditions become such that we dont need it, it will be a problem eventually. You're looking at a complete revamp of all existing shipping and power generation.

Oil is technically not infinite, but it’s super abundant. I believe it’s effectively infinite, unless we have no technological innovation and runaway population growth for the next thousand years.

According to the usgov Hirsh report peak conventional oil extraction was in 2005. Literally running out is bad but what will come first is the system shock when it becomes extremely cash intensive and economically negative to do so. Framing and shale / tar sands are a response.

Real environmentalists should want more resource development and factories in the first world. The current environmental movement is and has been a sham.

The answer is no industrial system. Have you read Kaczynski?

Yes - his arguments against tech are sociological and psychological. Environmental concerns are second.
