Whatever “source” you watched is feeding you bullshit.

Fracking was not viable 20 years ago....not as it is used today.

Now, we are fracking at depths never seen before.....and that is where the BULLSHIT comes from.

You see, we have 50 years remaining, using current technology. But technology does not stand still. In fact, productivity of oil/gas has doubled in just the last 5 years while wind/solar have not doubled in 20 years.

There are more layers of shale gas/oil deeper down. We will be able to extract those soon....in other words, there is no limit to how much oil/gas we can obtain from the Earth.

So, beware the “experts” who also warned us about “peak oil” back in the 1970s. It is bullshit spread by those who want gov’t energy.

Earth’s second most common liquid is oil, after water.

Oil is not a “fossil fuel” - it is produced in the mantle and is not going to run out. Please note the moons and planets discovered with hydrocarbon atmospheres, hydrocarbons are common in the universe.

Oil was classified as an “organic substance” by the attendance at a world scientific meeting in1894 by Rockefeller, who wanted to insure that his new Standard Oil company could convince the world that his new resource could be continuously raised in value.

It still works today. Oil companies love environmental protests about “peak oil”, it raises the price.

Calm down! Did you account for the demand not staying flat but increasing dramatically due to demand from China and India?

Just quoting a professor who seems to know what he is talking about. It is thought and projected that “easily accessible Nat Gas” will tail off in 40 years.

You tube, Illinois EnergyProf.

This a good presentation.

This is the general link... lots of good stuff including nuclear (the failures and disasters of nuclear power), what is fracking, etc.
