Look at the bright side, the survivors will learn to operate anymachinery without the use of gasoline, Steam at first of course, thefirst cars were steam driven and fast, they failed popular supportdue to the time it took to get one started.Still need grease, oil, andother derivatives, but they will come from other sources.I understand mass extinction means if it ain't written in stone, It'sgone. All or most of the acquired knowledge to date will have to berelearned. You just know most of the books that survive will beromance novels.I've always seen garbage dumps as being mined in the future, mostlyfor the plastics, not being there - it might be for totally differentreasons, but I do see them being mined, and areas of great wealth.
