We won't wake up one day and be all "oh shit we ran out of oil". These things work on a gradient, yo. After seeing how well corporations have dealt with IP addresses, I'm not so sure about this. Add in the possibility of a random war suddenly quadrupling the price of oil, and the fact that it might take twenty-plus years to switch the energy industry over to another technology, and I find it very believable that we'll wake up one day and be all "oh shit we can't produce enough energy." South East Asia will have a 300m person gender imbalance True. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how we can deal with that one at all, given that it's already happened. I'm lumping it in with tsunamis and pandemics rather than resource depletion.
