Evar D. Nering is professor emeritus of
1. Reduction is just not going to happen.
2. Suppose the supply is growing through exploration or does grow when the obstacles are removed? Your POSSIBLY unwarranted assumtion of some stable supply if wrong negates the whole calculation.
Obiously up to now it has been growing or your calculations would say we should already have exhausted the resource.
The point is that nobody really knows.
I do agree we must find new different resources to be safe but a prediction of when or if we will exhaust our oil is just an unwarrented guess at best and scare tactics at worst.
