If the world runs out of fossil fuels and hasn't developed sufficient alternate energy sources, an energy crisis will ensue. Most people will be forced to do without privately owned vehicles for transportation, and basic services such as electricity, water and sewage may be disrupted or discontinued. Also, fossil fuels provide many of the raw materials used to create plastics and synthetic products such as fabrics - without fossil fuels these products may no longer be available.
