Oil Won’t Last Forever – What happens when it runs out?
We will make more. Thermal Depolymerization (TDP) is a process using hydrous pyrolysis for the reduction of complex organic materials (usually waste products of various sorts, often known as biomass and plastic) into light crude oil. It is too expensive to use now, but as the reserves run down or TDP technology improves it will become competitive. Turn table scraps, lawn waste and Kudzu into oil. 100% renewable.

The Fischer–Tropsch process is being used now to gassify coal. We have LOTS of coal.
