I know you copied this from someone else, but this is a flawed issue. There will always be enough petrochemicals to support the pharmaceuticals industries. They don't use much, and they can afford to pay steep costs to get it out of the ground. It is not like all the oil will be gone; it will just not be economical to extract it the make fuel. Actually, we need to strand billions of gallons of petroleum and coal in the ground to prevent ecological disaster. It will be fine to pull a little out to make medicines and fertilizer.
