didn't we already run out of oil on 1976?

YEa, I remember back in the 70's when they were carping and whining about the coming ice age, and the world running out of oil by 1990, then we would all freeze and starve to death.

These wierdo's are everywhere but reality with their silly theories and pronouncements.

In a Van Nostand's science magazine from the 1860s, the author was worried that we were running out of coal.
In the 1960s and 1970s, there were those (including Scientific American!) that warned that we would run out of oil by the year 2000.

Chicken Littles continual underestimate man's ingenuity and resourcefulness. If and when we actually come close to running out of an important resources, we will find a legitimate substitute. (for example, the oil wells in Ontario and Penssylvania were first drilled to supply oil for lamps, replacing sperm whale oil.)

"didn't we already run out of oil on 1976?

Yeah, this was the same group of scientists that told us in 1979 that by 2025 the world would be so overpopulated it would be uninhabitable.
