What will happen when crude oil becomes scarce is that there will be all sorts of flowering of other energy resources. yes, but the inherently lower EROEI of alternatives means the energy available to us will be less, and more expensive, than in the past. this will result in, at least, the "End of Suburbans" which are gas guzzlers; the possible "End of Suburbia", which is dependent on cheap energy for transport in individual vehicles; and more dismally the "End of a Lot of Peoples' Lives" as fuel-dependent agriculture becomes less productive. And human populations really ought to be rationalized. ah, but who gets to make these decisions? nobody has the right, do they.
