Investing for the oil bust [View All]

[DaveJ]

Say I had the supernatural ability I could predict one future event: oil was going to pretty much run out in 6 years.

Any oil reserves are allocated to the military. Jet fuel becomes super expensive so nobody is flying. The U.S. government is preparing by building train lines. We still have energy for electric cars, but the energy shift is going to be traumatic for industries that need to high power engines that only oil can provide.

Even Repukes then realize government is going to need to help manage this disaster. Where would be the best place to put money in such a scenario? Government bonds? Is the stock market going to do well through this?
