The world uses 85 million barrels of Oil per day. At 42 gallons to the barrel, that’s three billion, five hundred and seventy million gallons of oil (3,570,000,000). Niagara falls has a flow rate of 150,000 U.S. gallons per second. 3,570,000,000 of oil / 150,000 gallons per second = 23,800 seconds of flow equivalent. In other words, if you were able to replace the flow over niagara falls with nothing but oil for 6.6 hours a day, that’s how much oil the 6+ billion inhabitants of the earth burn every single day of every year, and have been for more or less the past ten years.

Deindustrialization of Germany. Yes. Already happened in Sweden. You drive in the country side and you see old infrastructure used to produce cement. Old bullet and cartridges is a museum. Old cannals are touristic atractions and so on. Most country side, once used by farmers, has been given back to forests, are owned by Germans who come there in the summer for vacationing. Scandinavian farmers went to the US when US was growing like Brazil today, mid 19th century. There are beautiful cities inhabited only by old folks since young people all left for the major cities. Perhaps event those cities will fade away in the future.
