Imagine waking up to a world where the power grid flickers, supermarket shelves empty in days, global shipping grinds to a halt, and modern medicine faces an unprecedented crisis.

We live in a world built entirely on petroleum. Beyond fueling cars and planes, crude oil is the hidden bedrock of our global food supply, essential pharmaceuticals, plastics, asphalt, and green technologies. In What Would Happen If The World Ran Out of Oil, author Roy Moses takes listeners on a sweeping, factual, and anecdotal journey through civilization’s most critical dependency.

Through compelling historical insights, expert analysis, and vivid real-world scenarios, this book unpacks what a post-oil transition actually looks like—from immediate geopolitical shocks to long-term economic shifts.

Inside this thought-provoking deep dive, you’ll discover:

The Hidden Ubiquity of Crude: How petroleum quietly powers everything from agricultural fertilizers and synthetic clothing to solar panels and wind turbines.

The Domino Effect: A timeline of what collapses first—transportation, global supply chains, industrial manufacturing, or public power grids.

Geopolitical Realities: How shifting resource scarcity redraws national borders, international alliances, and global trade power.

The Green Transition Friction: The real-world physical and material bottlenecks standing between our current fossil fuel infrastructure and a clean-energy future.

Human Resilience & Innovation: Historical anecdotes and future innovations showing how human ingenuity adapts when forced off its primary energy source.

Whether you are a student of geopolitics, an economics enthusiast, or simply curious about the unseen forces driving our global society, Roy Moses delivers an unputdownable narrative that challenges how you view the modern world.
