In the last 24 months the US supply of natural gas has increased from 10 years to 100 years because of new technologies, new methods for exraction, & new gas field discoveries in the USA.

Basically the answer to oil problems is gas for the USA.

Not to mention how much natural gas is sitting on the ocean floor in the form of methane hydrate. This stuff is more or less pure natural gas sitting in a layer half a kilometer thick covering a good chunk of the ocean floor. Too expensive to bring it up currently, but there are 2500 gigatonnes of the crap down there. That is 10 times more than the estimate of the reserves of conventional methane. In fact the estimeat of all other fossil fuels combined is only 5000 gigatonnes. Thats Coal Oil and regular run of the mill natural gas.

We are not going to run out any time soon.
