That oil has to last for an indefinite period of time to provide sufficient fuel for future generations until a viable alternative has been found.

This is pure and utter nonsense.

Viable alternatives will be found ONLY when the markets make it attractive for someone to do so. Conservation, while an interesting sidebar, has no material effect on the amount of time existing resources will last.

When supply gets short, and prices go up, then alternative sources will be developed. Not one minute before.

What is wrong with the liberal mind that makes it unable to understand this trivial, yet fundamental, concept?
