All the reserves will miraculously refill themselves?
Actually, some of them do believe this.

>>>. I realize that wing nuts are notoriously bad at math, science, reality, facts and anything that gets in the way of their partisan beliefs, but what do you think is going to happen? All the reserves will miraculously refill themselves?

After your "peak oil" rants of a few years ag, this may be a time for you to take a moment of quiet reflection.

Today, we sit with nearly triple the proved reserves of 1980.

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.
