CJ,
Again, we haven't discovered any new reservoirs, we are just depleting the ones we have.
When the peak oil argument was made in the 70's, it didn't include the reserves that we are now exploiting via fracking.

When I was in elementary school in the 80's, I remember watching a film that said we're going to run out of oil in 50 years.

Fast-forward to today, where once again the prediction is that we'll run out of oil in 50 years.

Clearly the goalposts are being moved. Eventually the Chicken Littles will be right, just like the Boy Who Cried Wolf, but by then no one is going to give a s--t.
