I was looking for the correct basic economic evaluation of this story, and you're the first!

The author is an economic ignoramous. Oil does NOT "run out" - it gets more expensive. Then new finds occur because they are now economically feasible.

Then, when alternatives become MORE economically feasible than finding more oil, the alternatives will be developed and used.

The problem with these lefties is that they are ignorant of or despise the free market so much that they can't see its reality and implications.

Happens a lot. BTW, when is the award ceremony? :)
