I'm wondering what will happen to the middle east after oil?

I wonder what they made medicine out of before the petro-chem industry or what ingredients they use nowadays instead of the industrial by products from the refineries Quote:

Don't get me wrong, I'm as dependent on oil as the next guy, but I don't like it because nothing lasts forever. |

No doubt the loss of such a civilizing force will cause it to descend in to barbaric primitive savagery.

Greene energy? Hmmm. He'd been dead for over 200 years. I figure he's probably done producing methane by now...

I figured Yubba was trying to sound British and spell it differently like tyre and grey.

Well some metals, chiefly gold and silver were around in the Stone Age. Then they moved on to the Bronze Age (some skipped this bit!) about 5500 years ago and amassed some more metals. Then came the Iron Age about 3300 years ago. Some other metals have followed since then.
Oil on the other hand is first mentioned in ye olde English around 900 years ago, but does actually extend back to the Bronze Age with the Mycenaean Greeks - but this oil is not the same stuff to which you refer, but instead things like body and plant fats. Tar pitch was known to seep from the ground near the river Euphrates 4000 years ago, and this was used to waterproof things but it's not until 347 AD that a well was drilled in China using bamboo poles. Later references mention hand-dug wells at Baku in modern day Azerbaijan around 500 years ago. In 1815 oil was discovered as an unwanted by-product in Pennsylvania, and the first 'modern' well was drilled near Baku in 1848. So to answer your question - with hand tools would seem adequate.

No idea, but in the mean time there building super cassino's for the mega rich as there oil has peaked. So it's the second boom times for them, a question comes to mind. What will they do with all that money?
