Curious thing about our running out of oil, is that when I was a mere lad in the late 50's I was taught that we would run out it 20 years - that was also euphoria time about nuclear electricity.
Now we have enough, the pundits claim, for about 40 years, and that is at a massively increased usage that in the 50s.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying we shouldn't try and reduce usage, use renewables etc etc - just this old dog has heard it all before and I still remember the story of red riding hood. I fear for my descendants though.
