We're going to run out of oil, and sooner than everyone thinks.
As the other poster noted, oil is used in the manufacture of
absolutely everything.
And there's nothing on the horizon that is a viable replacement, nor
anything even remotely approaching one.

yeah..we'll run out right after we squeeze every drop of oil from all the
oil shale about 40 miles up the road from me. which should be in about
75-100 years. ofcourse it will be another 10 years before the gov will even
give us permission to mine it.

Why doesn't the gov't allow drilling for it now, versus "10 years"
from now?
Seems like it would be much easier and cheaper to process than the
stuff from more remote places (North Sea, etc).

you dont drill it, you drill a hole in the wall, blast it, scoop it up into
a dump truck and take it to a retort facility to squeeze out the oil from
the shale. underground mining..........
