This Infographic from CarSort Explains Peak Oil and its Dangers

— September 18, 2011 — Autos
Everyone has heard of the peak oil phenomenon, but CarSort wants to make sure you really understand it and the ramifications it may soon have.

Newly launched website CarSort helps new drivers find the perfect automobile for their purposes. Oddly enough, the car retailer released an infographic on peak oil in the hopes of directing the CarSort customer base to the radical changes that'll befall us once the world supply of crude oil starts to plummet. In a sentence, peak oil has already occurred -- we've used up the majority of the planet's available petroleum. And with so much infrastructure dependent on gasoline, humanity is faced with a paltry few choices: Dangerously extract oil from tar sands or move beyond the dirty, non-renewable energy source. The solution should be simple, but with billions of dollars at stake, corporations and countries invested in petroleum are making things more difficult.

Feel free to educate yourself on the future of oil and its implications on your next car purchase thanks to CarSort. You may want to choose an electric vehicle once barrels of crude reach $100 a pop.
Trend Themes
1. Peak Oil Awareness - CarSort's infographic highlights the dangers of peak oil, creating awareness among consumers and driving demand for alternative energy sources.
2. Transition to Electric Vehicles - As petroleum becomes scarcer, consumers are encouraged to consider electric vehicles as a sustainable and cost-effective transportation option.
3. Challenges in the Petroleum Industry - The declining availability of crude oil presents disruptive innovation opportunities for companies to invest in renewable energy and find sustainable alternatives.
Industry Implications
1. Automotive - The automotive industry can capitalize on the trend towards electric vehicles and develop innovative solutions to reduce dependency on petroleum.
2. Renewable Energy - With the growing awareness of peak oil, the renewable energy industry has the opportunity to provide sustainable alternatives and meet the increasing demand for clean energy sources.
3. Environmental Consulting - As businesses navigate the challenges posed by peak oil and seek to transition to renewable energy, there is a need for environmental consulting services to provide guidance and support in implementing sustainable practices.
