Someone sent this to me. I thought it was pretty cool.

    Not as a solution, but just because it doesn’t make any sense. Oil is a scarce resource, yet they burn it as if it isn’t. Actually they’d all be on bicycles if they didn’t find an alternative energy for their train-car-machines

      My thought is that it becomes a lot less scarce if 99% of the population is dead and the remaining oil only has to cover the needs of 1%. Even less than that, in fact, because you had to be an elite raider type to even have a working vehicle. Most of the remaining population just live in the dirt and get out of the way when cars go by.
