Good point,
Before I left school in 1979. I remember being told in a geography lesson that there was enough known coal supplies to last something like 300 years, natural gas was another figure, and oil would run out in about 30 years. This I remember concerned me greatly, what was I going to run my motorbike on in 30 years time !!!! Obviously oil reserves are finite, but is there a figure they have on how long it will last now?
My point is, if this was the thinking back in the 70s , bearing in mind the advancements we have made in everything else technological. why am I still buying petrol?
