In order for you to believe that you need to believe you know where every molecule of hydrocarbon on Earth is right now. I agree - all the cheap stuff has been found.

More nukes are fine and I'm sure they'll be built. However, hydrocarbon energy is the life blood of our economy and will be so for decades to come, and we'll need every last bit of it that can be extracted to maintain our standard of living. That means drilling ANWR, off shore, and every other place that holds domestic reserves, and starting to do it NOW. It also means using clean coal and developing coal to gas and liquid facilities, and mining oil shale and sands. Of course the red/greens are doing everything they can to impede implementation of the above, using "global warming" as a proxy for their anti west, anti life agenda. Windmills and solar and geothermal are all niche systems and will remain so for the foreseeable future. Bio fuels are a disaster, both ecologically and economically. Hello food shortages and goodbye rain forests. To borrow from Dylan, "A hard rain's a gonna fall"...
