could not be manufactured. But for the latter two, crop yields would be only a fraction of what 
they are. To assume that an abundant source of renewable energy will be a panacea is to ignore 
these vital non-fuel uses of petrochemicals. 
 Then there is the challenge posed to the current levels of mobility. As a fuel, gasoline has an 
unrivalled portability compared to electricity, which requires bulky batteries, and hydrogen, which 
is notoriously difficult to store. Biofuels might seem like an alternative but the energy (currently 
in the form of fossil fuels) consumed when converting corn into bioethanol, for instance, greatly 
exceeds the output when the fuel is utilized. In any case, once the crisis in the food supply looms 
large it will not make sense to divert food crops to other uses. 
 Although there seems to be a general acceptance that an era is coming to an end, there is a 
widespread complacency resting on the assumption that the experts will come up with a 
technological remedy making for a completely pain-free transition. Scientists such as Walter 
Youngquist argue that this assumption may be mistaken and that the remaining resources might 
only support half of the current global population. In his opinion, the absence of a realistic 
alternative to fossil fuels will mean, amongst other things, that the first priority will be to curb the 
demand for food.
