Reviews of oil and gas reserve and production rates (e.g. BP Statistical Review 2016) suggest that, at current production rates, that U.S. oil and gas will be depleted in 10-12 years. Clearly production rates will not be constant and so these numbers are suspect, but there seems to be high likelihood that that our economy will see energy crises in the timeline between now and my retirement (I'll be 65 in 2038). As there is a strong dependency of business growth to available energy, it seems that very long term stock investing might be hazardous as well.
Outside of investing in Russian gas (which has a longer timeline to depletion), and maybe investments in electrical vehicles, what long term investment strategies might you envision for a retirement in this timeframe?
