You can't believe they just had a large amount of oil left over from the apocalypse that could sustain a few hundred thousand people? It's just a matter of cartelling it and controlling the supply.

Very very extreme event that has fallout for 20+ years. Would be very interesting to see how humans adapt with all of our tech
