Sri Lanka is telling its citizens to stay home and grow their own food, as a government minister announced that fuel reserves have hit “rock bottom.”

Our government will step in and try to prevent people from growing or making their own food. Look at baby formula. They explicitly told mothers not to use any of the old recipes and made no recommendations on any home brewed solution to the problem.

I remember my mother feeding babies mashed carrots. Is there a carrot shortage?

Klaus Schwab says the carbon footprint of carrot is unacceptable. Bugs only.

Whenever you read stories like this one, always remind yourself, There is no shortage of oil.

This crisis was caused solely by political mismanagement, both deliberate and inadvertent, on an international level. We have more than enough coal, natural gas, and oil to meet our needs into the foreseeable future worldwide. Even without nuclear power, we would be fine, and we can build nuclear power plants whenever we decide to do so.

Energy sources are effectively limitless. So are natural resources. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, because they are not telling the truth.

There is no shortage of oil.

Another thing to remember is that oil is abiotic.

Yes and we have had the tech for almost a century to turn completely renewable resources like trees and almost any other carbon based source directly into oil and can skip the wait time. If they were serious about geo engineering we would be pulling as much carbon out of the ground as possible and making it easily accessible in the atmosphere and converted into sources we can easily get too.

YES! I've been telling people about this for years. I have had this Reuters article (reuters.com) bookmarked for a friggin' decade.
