While some governments embrace the use of biofuel and begin mass production, others start to wonder if they should plant crops for food or fuel, eventually abandoning biofuel planting altogether. Stockpiled gasoline begins to degrade in quality due to it being stored in poor conditions, and civilians begin to experiment with chemicals to produce their own biofuel. Emergency vehicles are still given fuel rations. Famine and drug-resistant infections threaten death, while many begin to migrate as food shipments come every second day. Governments start biofuel planting programs, while nations that already produced large amounts of biofuel are able to mitigate the negative effects of losing oil.įive months after oil, the Big Three automobile manufacturers are nationalized by the U.S. Thirty days after oil, diesel-powered passenger trains are running on rations, and the roads are empty of cars. Coal, which is still accessible, briefly becomes the main source of fuel, but they quickly face shortages. Martial law is declared to stop rioting and looting. All international transportation is grounded, including logistics, meaning resources such as steel, food, medical supplies, and trash are not being moved.įive days after oil, power stations start running out of diesel, sparking widespread outages. Consumers rush to gas stations to fuel their cars for the last time, while oil tankers are called back to their countries of origin to save national reserves of oil. This causes $2 trillion USD of stock to become worthless, and oil workers are dismissed as the industry fails. One day after oil, asphalt, diesel, gasoline, and tar supplies become limited.
Alarms in oil rigs sound as pipe pressure plummets, leading employees and chemists around the globe to discover the bizarre situation as it unfolds. In the first few minutes, approximately 100,000 billion barrels (1.6 ×10 16 L) of underground oil vanishes. This episode hypothesizes a total oil depletion scenario, where almost all oil on Earth simply vanishes in one night. The series' pilot special, this episode hypothesizes what would happen if all humans suddenly disappeared from Earth.
