The one question I have is this --- WILL THE WORLD EVENTUALLY RUN OUT OF OIL ? Or is the earth continually giving it out, meaning, it will last indefinitely as long as this planet survives ?

It’s not about “green” anyway, it’s about “red”.
They, the elitist ruling class, don’t want the hoi-polloi using energy and living a lifestyle close to that which the ruling class lives.

"How many white man come?" And Kevin just looked up at the stars and pointed.
That's how much oil.

You could quintuple and then quintuple again the output of wind and solar and it wouldnt reduce our dependence on oil. Why? Because we use oil for transportation, not for electricity. Pigressive lib lurkers, I hope this statement makes sense to you...but somehow I doubt it.

We already have the greenest fuel available to us- Trees.
Burning trees for fuel would not add any additional CO2 to the above ground environment, and as long as you plant more than you harvest it is a limitless source of energy.

Considering the future, ask yourself this. In 50, 100, 200 years, will we still need gas? Especially looking at the advancements that civilization has made in the last 100 years. Things will be completely different and our dependence on oil will, most likely, be minimal.

It depends on how the stuff is made. One theory is that it really is “rock-oil.”

I do not think that oil will run out any time soon. They keep exploring and finding more. There are vast reserves of oil that haven’t been tapped. Look at this Deepwater well — it is gushing like there is no tomorrow. Look at Alaska, the ‘forbidden’ oil fields; there is plenty available that hasn’t even been assessed.
I think it is all hype designed to create hysteria and panic, which in turn give the government ‘frightened sheep’ which are easier to control.
Plus, France decided, after the oil embargo in 1974, to disengage from the Middle East and control their own energy supplies. They have invested heavily in nuclear power plants; the technology has advanced tremendously since that time, and they are way less dependent on foreign oil than WE are.
There are ways that make sense, but one must use logic, common sense, the latest technology, and top engineers to implement them.

We are consuming it faster than the rate it is being formed within the Earth so eventually, it will become pretty scarce. As infinitesimal as the flow from the BP well seems, it represents about 0.01% of our daily usage of crude oil. The field that it is tapped into (let's say roughly 125 million barrels) represent about 24 days of supply for the entire United States. I grow weary of pundits saying the reason that BP and others are drilling in 5,000’ feet of water is due to environmental regulations. That is totally false. The reason that they are in the deep water is because the shelf has been heavily exploited for over 50 years and all of the large fields have been discovered. A company the size of BP, ExxonMobil, etc. has to find very large fields to feed the bureaucracies that they have become.

Here are the other questions:
How much CO2 is generated by yeast cells during the fermentation process when sugars are converted to ethyl alcohol? CO2 is the primary gas that’s created during fermentation.
And what is the difference in CO2 output from burning gasoline v that from burning ethyl alcohol?
