Re: Capitalism. No, capitalism doesn’t collapse. It adapts. When it becomes economically viable to no longer use oil, alternatives will present themselves.
I’m looking at a remote property with no grid power. It will be cost-prohibitive to bring in a power line, so we’re going solar and perhaps gasification. The capitalistic principles at work.

Excellent work and an awesome informative, knowledge giving video. It will surely create awareness in the people watching it.
