What's worrying is the press given them space to write this. Or universities given a chair for person who, when speaking/writing to a non-school audience make themselves look stupid. I'm saying that not because it affects me and you (or most of the BBR people) I say it worries me because influenceable people would take that as truth!! 23 years ago, Nigeria (the list included Gabon and Equador) had 30 years of oil reserves. Are they 7 years from total depletion? I don't think so. The future of oil is: It will get bloody expensive, prompts more technology on extraction/ exploration and a lot of arm twsiting to the Irans, Russias and Iraqs of this world. Then slowly alternatives start making their mark, they take over and there will still be oul left inside the earth's crust... Then people will look to countries where heat is a plenty and you don't need to burn fossil fuels as life supporting system and the cost of heating a house is rpeice in a country competitiveness and so it goes... Then aluminum will stop being smeltered because 70% of its cost os energy... Or nuclear power takes over and we have to change nothing!!!! Just send a lot of money to Brazil to pay for ethanol :-)
