Name one thing, of which, the planet has ever run out. Trees can be
replanted and in a matter of years you can't tell they were ever gone.

We will not ever run out of oil. It will become more expensive but as it
does the motivation to create an alternative will increase.

That is what an free market does. Left alone a free market will cause

all
materials to be used for the most efficient use.


I think there some confusion about what the "most efficient use"
means.

It does not mean in the most conservative manner, or in a manner which
maximizes its use or availability or longevity, nor does it mean for
the higher good or best use, whatever that may be.

It means in a manner which maximizes the profit derived from its use.

There is no confusion on my part you are exactly right.
