"Yes Whales and Buffalo have had reason to be placed under protection as endangered species. Lots of animals and plants do. So you could label that an age which was (when there were plenty)... an age which is gone if you want. But that was not the context of the point you were responding too. Maybe you never got it, which would not surprise me"

Maybe oil should be placed under protection.....but you missed the simpler point...... When you over consume, you deplete the sources.... simple, No??

"he stone age didn't end because we ran out of stones and the age of petroleum wont end because we run out of petroleum. However, while it is one of the best energy sources we've got to get our needs met, we will continue using it."
