Considering that we have anywhere from 40 to 200 years of known reserves, and that breakthroughs happen with considerable frequency, I'd say whoever wrote the article was pushing an agenda. The history of mankind has been laced with such hysterics.

Bike trails are also convenient for some. Frank |
