Did someone delude you into thinking all the oil on the planet will be gone soon?

There will _always_ be oil, be it synthetic (think coal fuel = we have 400 years of coal reserves) or naturally occuring abiotic oil.

Even if Thomas Gold's "naturally occuring abiotic oil" theory pans out (which doesn't seem likely), the use thereof would be contraindicated due to the adverse affects such consumption has on both human health[*] and atmosphere gas balance; and, were it true, the rate of creation would not be sufficient to supply current fossil fuel demands by orders of magnitude.

Face it, fossil fuels are a fundamentally limited resource that _must_ eventually be insufficient to supply the demand. Fortunately we have transportation alternatives (electric trains, cars, busses) that are comparable (in both range and refill/recharge times) to vehicle capabilities currently burning gasoline/petrol.

Or London England in the early '70s. When I passed through in late July 1973 you could cut the air with a dull knife - diesel particulate matter was the most visible but I was SO GLAD to get on the plane to leave!!!!!

Every time someone says we are running out, we find a ton more.

We just broke a deep water drilling record in the Gulf of America open up more resources yet.

And we have a ton of natural gas too.

Maybe in the year 2750, we will actually run out. By then we will have mastered hydrogen.

Interesting how the anointed now-a-days mention electric as an alternative. Hmmmm. BEV's pollute more in aggregate than do piston, especially the toxic batteries. And the fuel sources come from, wait for it, wait for it, fossil fuels. Coal fired rolling fire bombs are not the answer.

There are better non toxic batteries that do not catch fire in our future, but we need a YUGE increase in electric infrastructure and nuclear power to charge them. All of which are opposed by the anointed. We have great new nuclear designs now that won't melt down now too! The anointed oppose them too.

The solution is to ignore the anointed and let the market solve the problem. Real, actual fascism, not what the anointed call everyone who won't bend their knee to them, is not the answer.

By the year 2750, I would predict that we will have masters Faster Than Light (FLT) travel, anti gravity, and fusion power.

And pizzas that do not cause diabetes. But we will still be arguing over the toppings.
