The end of oil reservees in the near future has been predicted for years.
THe fact is that there are fstill plenty of sources that are currnetly not
economical to develop. As the readily available sources become scarcer,
those known deposits will become economically viable, as will alternate
energy sources.......synthetics, etc.

Yeah, but, it takes energy to develop those sources. There is a point
where it is no longer viable from an energy standpoint, regardless of the
economic prices. Make no mistake, oil has been a gift, a *finite* gift.
The intelligent thing would be to start using it as a precious resource.
