    Also all we heard about for years how we need to get away from middle eastern oil and be energy independent. Well here we are.

    Now it’s we need to use no oil. Dumb fucks need to fuck off.

    Anyone who is that alarmist is a dumb fuck. But peak oil is absolutely a real problem. But since it won't happen in our lifetime we can expect a predictable amount of inaction.

    Peak oil was all the rage in the early 2000s particularly with leftards. Science. Sure eventually they will be correct. Most likely because of new technology. Just like the internal combustion engine replaced horses. Because of all that free market inaction.

    Sure. Reminds me of when I was told in 1974 we’d be out of oil in the 90s. Meanwhile there are more known reserves than ever.

    And there will continue to be as newer technology makes it more practical to access reserves that were previously not economical to extract. It ain't happening any time soon, or any generation soon. But that doesn't mean it's something we should ignore.

    Is the science settled on how the earth creates oil?

    "We will never run out of a finite resource"

    So what's your theory then? Earth first gets incinerated by the exploding sun in 5 billion years? An asteroid hits us first? Or do we just good old fashioned kill ourselves before we run out of oil?

    The science is settled that it’s finite?

    I'm convinced. How could it not be? Even rocks are finite if we turn enough of them into sand.

    There’s research happening that might challenge that notion. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.fool.com/amp/investing/general/2014/10/12/forget-what-youve-heard-oil-and-gas-are-actually-r.aspx
