Actually, currently just looking at known reserves of oil that we have direct access to, we have about 1.2 trillion barrels of oil available, which would suffice for earth at current consumption for over 38 years. In addition to that, expected undiscovered oil rests at just over 1 trillion barrels. finally, "unconventional" oil (heavy oil, tar sands, etc.) are at over 1.5 trillion barrels of availability. That means that we have EASILY over 100 years of pretty guaranteed oil availability at current consumption rates. this information is all available according to the National Petroleum Council http://www.npc.org/
based on FACTS, oil will NOT disappear in my lifetime, your lifetime or the lifetime of anybody currently living on this planet. your position is NOT an environmental one - it is a PURELY POLITICAL ONE. don't try to claim that oil will run out and we'll be sitting with our 8mpg cars scratching our heads, because nobody living today will ever see that happen...at least not because of lack of oil supply.
