Of course there is an end in sight. The oil won't last forever and hat
will be an end to the problem of rising prices. The last barrel will
be almost priceless and the price will rise slowly and then
exponentially until then. Or it could become worthless grime when
someone invents Mr Fusion.


Agree with you up to exponential. As costs rise demand will
eventually lower so that will slow it down a little. And the stuff
that is currently uneconomical to drill today will become economical
to drill at higher prices per barrel. But yeah sometime we do
completely run out - it just won't be sudden.


depends. The exponential part will come sometime before the last gallon is
all that's left and it's simultaneously found to be a cure for cancer/an
aphrodisaiac/or the answer to life the universe and everything.

And Mr. Fusion is going to be a bitch to fit anyway. I just know the
plasma containment magnets aren't going to fit a O-320 engine mount.




's Ok. I'll knock one up for you.
