I recently purchased an old paperback by Isaac Asimov "More Tales of the Black Widowers", a collection of mystery short stories. One of the stories casually mentioned a physicist working on fusion energy and being concerned that it wouldn't be developed "in time" because the data was showing that all the world's oil would be gone by 2000.

The book was published in 1975. Asimov was no dummy, but apparently anyone can get sucked into the silly belief that "it's running out".
