Balta1701 Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 11:58 AM) I remember having a science textbook in like 3rd or 4th grade that said we would be out of oil by the year 2000-2010. Well, we're never going to be totally "Out" of oil, because there is actually a finite amount being generated right now (i.e. there are reservoirs that you can pump at a constant rate and they don't decrease in volume). But it may very well wind up having been close to the "Peak" production year in that guesstimate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeSox Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Those estimates were also based on exponentially increasing oil/ energy usage, but more modern models have society approaching a limit. Nothing grows exponentially forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
