The World Has 42 +/- years left then the well runs dry

Global demand for crude oil (including biofuels) in 2019 amounted to 100.1 million barrels per day

Daily global crude oil demand 2006-2020 | Statista
Oil Reserves By Country 2020

100.1 X 365 = 36,536,000,000 barrels consumed in one year
Total known world oil reserves = 1,532,800,000,000,000 barrels
1,523,800,000,000/36,536,000,000 = +/- 42 years then the well runs dry

All the members of the United Nations know this and are making great strives in switching to renewables for their electric power.

The facts are out there for all to see only you must look to see it.
Most countries know this and are making great strides in switching to renewables.

Renewable energy in China
China is the world's leading country in electricity production from renewable energy sources,
with over double the generation of the second-ranking country, the United States.

Renewable energy in Canada
As of 2019, renewable energy technologies provide about 17.3% of Canada’s total primary energy supply and about 67% of its electricity production.

The majority of renewable energy produced in Canada comes from hydroelectricity. It supplied 58% of total electricity production in 2016 making Canada the second largest producer of hydroelectric power globally. Wind power is a fast-growing sector of the energy market, accounting for 5% of electricity production in 2016. Globally, Canada was the eighth largest producer of wind power in 2016. Canada has also built many[quantify] photovoltaic power stations, mainly in Ontario, with one in Sarnia, being the largest in the world at the time of its construction. A 15-megawatt tidal plant sits at Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, and uses the daily tides of the Bay of Fundy to generate electricity.

Politicians have expressed interest in increasing the percentage of Canada's electricity generated by renewable methods. Ontario has created a subsidy to assist wind and solar power producers.

Renewable energy in Germany
Renewable energy in Germany is mainly based on wind, solar and biomass. Germany had the world's largest photovoltaic installed capacity until 2014, and as of 2020 it has 49 GW. It is also the world's third country by installed wind power capacity, at 59 GW in 2018, and second for offshore wind, with over 4 GW. Germany has been called "the world's first major renewable energy economy".

According to official figures, around 370,000 people were employed in the renewable energy sector in 2010, particularly in small and medium-sized companies. This is over twice the number of jobs in 2004 (160,500). About two-thirds of these jobs are attributed to the Renewable Energy Sources Act.

No such act in the USA

Germany's federal government is working to increase renewable energy commercialization, with a particular focus on offshore wind farms. A major challenge is the development of sufficient network capacities for transmitting the power generated in the North Sea to the large industrial consumers in southern parts of the country. Renewable energy in Germany - Wikipedia

Renewable energy in United Kingdom
Renewable energy in the United Kingdom can be divided into production for electricity, heat, and transport.
Interest has increased in recent years due to UK and EU targets for reductions in carbon emissions, and commercial incentives for renewable electricity such as the Renewable Obligation Certificate scheme (ROCs) and Feed in tariffs (FITs), as well as for renewable heat such as the Renewable Heat Incentive. The 2009 EU Renewable Directive established a target of 15% reduction in total energy consumption in the UK by 2020.

Renewable energy in France
Renewables ‘to become France’s main energy source by 2027’


Renewable energy in United States
The development of renewable energy and energy efficiency marked "a new era of energy exploration" in the United States, according to former President Barack Obama. In a joint address to the Congress on February 24, 2009, President Obama called for doubling renewable energy within the following three years.
Trump does not care where the energy comes from so long as he can profit from it. Trump has not mentioned or spoke the term “renewables” in the past 2+ years

Trump does not care because he has not found a way to profit from it; as of yet.

Do you believe Trump cares what happens to us knowing he can afford it while knowing his Chauffeur cannot--?

Doesn't matter. Some 17 year old girl named Greta told me that we'll all be dead long before then. Until then, drill baby drill. At least we'll all die warm and mobile.

And worst case, we could always start throwing Democrats into the tar pits to make more oil.

Proven reserves are a middle east problem, not a we've got plenty of shale in the US problem.

Excalibur, when you use the term “we” you need to back it up with a few facts. “You”, being a stranger and all, why should I believe you when all you provide is an unsupported personal view of yours-?

no animosity intended or implied

I believe the oil companies already know this and they seem to agree between themselves in keeping the price reasonable while investing in every renewable project out there.

Or so I believe :)-
 
I thought this was going to be about water. We will have plenty of cheap oil for as long as we need. Once we switch over to renewable energy they won’t be able to give that shit away.

And remember: Trump is bringing back coal, bigger than ever!

"We" will not be switching over to renewable energy. China manufactures most of the equipment for that and don't look for a great resurgence of that anytime soon, like there was under Obama.
 
The key word is "known" oil reserves. How many years until we stop finding new sources of oil? you can't answer that in your cut and paste article, can you?
I am hoping you can answer your own question. I've read some of your posts, you are a smart person & your contribution will be warmly received.

There was a thing, years ago, called Peak Oil. The theory was that we are running out of oil, and it would effectively be gone long before the actual oil ran out. Once you get below a certain level of oil left, it becomes the end.

It was supposed to run out around 2000, if I recall. Then it was given another decade. And now you claim it will end in 47 years.

The point being, this is an old claim used to scare people. As for me? I won't be alive in 47 years.

Nuclear
Safe nuclear energy is integral to our mission of powering the economic prosperity of the Tennessee Valley.
Our nuclear plants generate enough low-cost, clean and reliable energy to power about a third of our customers—more than 4.5 million homes and businesses. With a top priority of safety and security, nuclear power is key to achieving TVA’s mission of energy, environmental stewardship and economic development to make life better for the Tennessee Valley.
Our Plants
We operate three nuclear plants plants capable of generating an average of 7,800 megawatts of electricity each day:
Why Nuclear?
  • Nuclear power is the best option for generating large amounts of electricity that's safe, clean, reliable and cost-effective—allowing us to keep our rates competitive and reliability high.
  • Nuclear power is environmentally friendly and doesn't produce harmful greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Nuclear power plants run economically, second only to hydroelectric power in low operating costs. Combined with our renewable energy and energy efficiency efforts, increasing nuclear generation allows us to reduce reliance on coal, decrease air emissions and provide reliable, affordable power to the people of the Tennessee Valley.
Safety—Our Top Priority
Our nuclear plants have multiple safety systems in place to keep our workforce and the communities we serve safe. Safety systems include physical barriers that protect against radiation release, and layer upon layer of redundant and diverse back-up power systems to keep reactors sufficiently cooled—even in the most extreme or unlikely of events.
The nuclear industry is among the most thoroughly tested and regulated industries in the world. Our plants operate with oversight by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), which has inspectors physically stationed at each site.
Industry organizations, such as the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations and the World Association of Nuclear Operators, work to ensure that the industry achieves the highest level of safety and reliability through plant evaluations, training, accreditation, events analysis and information exchange.
U.S. nuclear plants are well designed to withstand natural disasters like floods, droughts, earthquakes and hurricanes—as well as man-made threats such as aircraft crashes. After the event at Fukushima in Japan, the NRC required all nuclear plants to install additional backup safety equipment, known as FLEX, to protect plants from even more extreme events—including “stacked” events during which one disaster follows another.
In 2014, the industry opened national response centers in Memphis and Phoenix that can deliver additional safety equipment and resources to any U.S. nuclear power plant within 24 hours.
TVA nuclear regularly reviews nuclear successes and setbacks across the globe, and we use that knowledge to update our equipment, procedures and training to the highest standards.

Emergency Preparedness
While our strong commitment to safety, high operating standards and highly trained workforce make a radiation leak or other incident unlikely, emergency preparedness is central to TVA Nuclear operations. Those preparations include emergency procedures, supply checklists, evacuation instructions and evacuation routes.
Nuclear Calendars
Our annual nuclear calendars are full of information about emergency preparedness, evacuation routes, siren testing and more.

I also like hydro-electric and Natural gas, of course statistically, I probably won't be here in 43 years.
