is it true that in a few years  the oil supplies in the world will end?

Oil is non-renewable.  So it will run out but NOBODY knows when.

When oil hits $100 or during the next war we start.  So in about 2-4 years.

I heard that there is 20 years left of oil that could be wrong but I would say  that there is a few trillion barrels left.

Eventually, the demand for oil will continue to increase and the supply will continue the decrease.  The only practical solution is to move towards alternative fuel.

Probably not. I think the end will come from environmental destruction causing melting of the ice caps, then, when the balance of the planet is thrown off enough, the earth will change its axis of rotation ( as it has done several times already according to the geologic survey ). This will be devestating to all life on the planet and the earth will be reborn.

Very screwed.  Oil will only go up as we approach (or have already suprassed) the peak oil supply.  At some point, there won't be enough oil to power machinery, to use as pesticide or to make the materials for a modern life. The deficit is insane (thank you Republicans) and will not be gone until another 20 years, if we are lucky.  Our Social Sercurity and all safety nets will be destroyed by the free-marketeers who have enough money so they'll be fine. The government along with the loyal and enthusiastic help of conservatives and spinless liberals is turning us into a police state so get ready for camps. China owns us through Treasury Bonds though that won't stop the U.S. from nuking it in a couple of years. The world will eventually stop putting up with our sh*t and then trade goes down. Basically, we're all f***ed so move out.  I hear Western Europe is nice.

Although there's a lot of oil left in the world, and we agree that there's roughly 900 to 1,000 gigabarrels of oil left in the world, you need to put that in context. Up until the Carter years, every decade, we used as much oil as had been used in all of previous history. Now, with exponential growth, if you're at about a 7 percent growth rate, and we were using oil at about 7 percent more per year, the world was, that explains how we got on that curve. Now, the fact that we have about half of all the oil that was ever in the world still there, doesn't mean that the next 50 years, 100 years are going to be like the last 50 years, 100 years, because the world is now demanding a whole lot more oil. Last year, China increased their use probably 25 percent. In less than three years, that doubles their use of oil. They probably won't continue on that growth path, but India's increasing. China's now the No. 2 importer in the world. What are the consequences of this? Boy, economic and geopolitical. When the world recognizes that there's only so much oil that can be produced, and we need more oil -- by the way, if our economy doesn't grow at least 2 percent a year, we can't service our debt. And if we don't think the economy's growing at 2 percent a year, the stock market starts tanking. You know, we have to get used to the fact that there is not going to be oil in the quantities there have been in the past available in the future, and we should have started a long time ago, 'cause we knew -- the world knew -- by at least 1980, that M. King Hubbert was right about our country. If he's right about the United States, why shouldn't he be right about the world? And we should have been doing some things that we've now blown 25 years, that we could have been doing some very meaningful things to prepare for this time when the world reaches its peak ability to produce oil. We didn't do those things then. We really need to start doing them now.

There is plenty of oil for years to come.\n\nBut is your question about Canada predicated on the bizarre theory that we invaded Iraq for oil? That is so laughable that you need severe ridicule and degradation for being so gullible or delusional. I'm too tired right now.

This world is going towards its end.

Oil prices will never stop going up because we are running out of it. It goes up by about 2.6% each year.

In school they teach that decaying matter over millions of years turns into oil.  \nThere probably isn't infinite amounts, but there is tons of it.  I honestly don't think we could ever run out.  The problem is getting to it.  We can't drill anywhere without ticking a bunch of people off, so it can be hard to actually obtain it.

of course not, people come up with wacko stories such as the one your teacher told you every day.  People thought the world was going to end on 6-6-06 but it did not. don't worry you will hear people say things like that many more times in your life.

Yes of course it is. Since oil was discovered in the middle east we have been trying to get our hands on it. There is a reason these people hate us and it isnt for our freedoms or our religious beliefs, or their religous beliefs.  Especially not that oil is running out.

Some people claim that oil production peaked within the last year. Even if the supply of oil lasts as many years as you hope, can we count on our leaders to take the necessary steps to cut our dependency on oil before the wells really run dry?

Of course not. \n\nUnlike the case of the 1970's embargo, there is no shortage. Oil and gas are abundant. The oil producers and their cronies realized that a demand for the product exists at a higher price, and have proceeded to manipulate the market to jack up the price. Of course, the government is looking the other way. In the past, everytime they tried to do that, a small portion of the Strategic Oil Reserve was released and oil prices soon dropped. \n\nWhy is that not being done now?\n\nCan anyone guess the answer? \n\n(A cue: remember Farenheit 911?)
