Peak Oil

There have been claims that we're running out of oil since it was discovered but the technologists & geologists keep proving the naysayers wrong. The short of it is: "undiscovered" oil is highly controversial. It's like "undiscovered" gold, or "undiscovered" psychic powers. There's also "undiscovered" parallel universes, worm-holes, and alien encounters. Personally, I expect all of these things to occur eventually but I'm not planning on putting my kids through college with the money. Similarly, the "difficult to obtain" supplies are problematic. I'm reassured that there will always be enough hydrocarbons for plastics, chemicals, etc., but certainly not to burn for power or casual transportation.
