energy is entirely the least of our problems.
There is pretty much not a single product out there in our lives that doesn't use oil in its manufacture, and to which there are no serious viable alternatives at a global scale. Biodiesel-based avaiation fuels are fuck all use if we have to go back to planes made out of wood.
