The question is, "When?". If it's tomorrow, that's a problem. If it's 10,000 years in the future, who cares? We'll have found better energy resources by then.
Personally, I lean towards the distant future, as pertains to "Peak Oil". But "there might be a problem, maybe, in 500 to 1000 years" doesn't sell as many newspapers as "Crisis! Panic!!".
Peak oil is a myth. We are drowning in oil all over. Are the big, close the surface, sweet crude lakes of oil hard to find now, absolutely but we have 100’s of years at current consumption of all kinds of fossil fuels, including tar sands, fracking, natural gas, coal. This was always a war on prosperity. It always boils down to control
Agree 100%!
Personally, I think oil will still be in the ground when the last man on Earth dies.
