Flash, you oppose real facts because this helps you sleep at night but what is real is real; and in the end even you cannot deny it. You say that soon there will be ten billion people on earth, and you are relying on oil to fuel the needs of ten billion people. this is just wishful thinking on your part with no facts to support it.We will run out of oil one day but it is not today. In the meantime it is the cheapest way to provide energy for the soon to be ten billion people on earth. Solar and wind and all that other silly "renewable" crap won't hack it.
Unlike you, I have researched this topic. I have crunched the numbers and the bottom line is self-evident. Many European countries have awakened to this reality. China has declared that they will be off oil by 2025. Italy and France are doing the same. Switching to renewables doesn’t require your approval; but for your own sake, join us and help us make the needed transition.
The numbers below are ten (10) years old.

Published: May 7, 2004
The question, instead, is when the trend in oil prices will turn decisively upward. That upward turn is inevitable as a growing world economy confronts a resource in limited supply. But when will it happen? Maybe it already has.

Tight Oil Supply Won't Ease Soon
Published: May 16, 2004
Two dollars for a gallon of gas? Get used to it. High fuel prices are here to stay, at least for the near future, because no relief is in sight for tight oil supplies.
