Most of the low hanging oil has been plucked. We are now fracking to get what we need. These wells are expensive and deplete very quickly. Copper, Phosphorous, rare earths. Water, soil, seafood. Everything is being overtaxed. It will be a miracle of modern sapience if we can implement a whole new social system to share what we have left among 9 billion people enough to retain social cohesion without all out civil world war of poor versus the walled countries and then cities of elites. Millions of people have started walking already.
