    Wouldn’t relying on the petrochemical industry’s oil refining supply chain be worse than choosing an electric bike that can be charged via off grid solar, diy hydro, or a homemade wind turbine? Making your own gasoline seems a lot harder.

      I wouldn’t be so sure about that. Everything I know about the upcoming apocalypse I learned from the 1995 movie Waterworld, and Dennis Hopper’s gang seemed perfectly capable of generating their own renewable supply of gasoline with nothing more than a decades old leaky oil tanker, so it can’t be that hard.
