 Sounds like Peak Oil thinking. I've listened to James Kunstler for
 years, he's written non-fiction and fiction about a world without oil.

 Visions of 19th century train logistics connecting cities, river boats,
 suburban sprawl becoming untenable, subsistence farming and geographic
 isolation. Again.

 He has a fiction series, called "World without Oil" that takes place in
 such a world, maybe a 100-200 years in the future.

 He doesn't talk about the violent uphevals it would take to get there.
 I'd imagine the haves not wanting to give up the status quo and living
 on some refuge somewhere with hoarded reserves while we revert to an
 earlier way of life.
