What will happen? Well how we do, what we do, will change dramatically. We will still have most of the products that are derived from crude oil but how they are manufactured will be quite different. Hopefully we will switch to a more sustainable form of product design that will utilize renewable resources. Plant based plastics and hydrogen powered vehicles will be common and, nuclear, wind, solar and hydroelectric power will produce our electricity. Coal is also an abundant resource we can and do use but there are some drawbacks to burning it for fuel.

We will not run out of crude oil overnight. It will run out eventually but you will know it's coming. The price of fuel and everything else made out of crude oil will continue to increase until the price reaches a point that it is more economical to use something else. We already have alternative energy sources available that are more expensive to use than oil, therefore they remain undeveloped. We can and will survive without crude oil.
