It's been 2 years and my opinion hasn't changed.

Oil is not going to run out.

Simple fact is that we've done mostly land drilling, with some offshore drilling.

Even in this insane scenario we completely run out in twenty years, there is still the fact we can drill in the oceans.

Oh, right, you forgot about the oceans.

Further, you fail to take into account that in the next eight years we'll have viable alternative fuel sources.

Jesus Christ. I'm tired of this paranoid, end of the world crap. You folks are almost as bad as the nuclear war people.

Oceanic crust does not support the conditions needed for the formation of petroleum.

Advice: change your handle to still insane.

common_sense of course oil is not running out, it's that it won't be enough for all of us.

Peak Oil has absolutely nothing to do with oil reserves and everything to do with production levels.

If you can't produce it fast enough, you have a shortage.

Oil doesn't exist below a certain depth. The veredict is still out on shale oil production. So maybe you can cite some sources to back up your claims.

[seahorse2]

Only drilling on land? Apparently, common sense isn't aware we've been producing oil out of the North Sea for quite some time, and the Gulf of Mexico too. Nor is he aware that even Saudi Arabia and the other Gulf States have lots of off shore platforms.

For a good picture of the risk involved with off-shore drilling, check out the picture of Thunderhorse after the Gulf Hurricanes, which to this day, is still not producing any oil.

Maybe "common sense" can explain why oil is $116 a barrel, has risen for the last 7 years nonstop, and why oil production is on a plateau for three years despite high prices.

Dude, do not worry about oil running out. It just won't anyway. Always will be still lying around. We're just being taken for granted as you just don't even think of it.

Thing is that you had not thought of: Look at the gas stations. Look at the volume of cars and trucks. Not just whom around you.

The more you pay for gas, the less you take. Incidentally, you'd make other people not to any favors.

Look at the bright side, the higher the gas prices are the tastier the popcorn gets.
