The price of gas

"C J Campbell" wrote in message
The trouble is that the oil companies explore enough to keep a thirty year
reserve in the pipeline. Thus, there is always thirty years left of "known
oil reserves." That is a far cry from saying that there is only thirty
years
of oil left in the world.

My common response to this "We're runnin' outta earl!" is that I just can't
WAIT until oil becomes so damn expensive that alternative fuels finally
become reality.

There is all this wonderful, cool technology out there just waiting for
fossil fuels to become so expensive that they become viable. We just need
to run out of something before they are affordable.

Necessity is the momma of invention.
