>The thing about oil, is that there is relatively little left.
In my opinion I'm not sure that the problem is there is little left, it's more about production capacity right now....it's becomming more and more difficult to keep up with the demand. We can't produce it fast enough. It's not that the reserves in the ground have little left, nobody knows exactly how much is left, and we'll never know.
Although the peak oil theory proves reserves will ultimately diminish (and just common sense), nobody knows exactly where we are, and even if we are at the peak of the production curve, theres still a long ways on the downward slope. Many many years.
To keep the world dependent on oil is important in my opinion
