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. "Humans can't take too much reality."--Jung

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.

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..........
