You have been had.

Oil makes jetfuel and everything else.

We have been "running out of oil" for years. Technology and exploration is staying well ahead of consumption. Supplys of crude are more or less limitless. The choke point these days leading to high prices has been lack of refinery capacity.


The only thing that will happen is the price will rise. We won't run out. It will just get expensive, and when that happens alternatives will be cost competative.

If we were so worried about oil we should be building Nuke plants left and right. We certainly shouldn't be generating electricity with gas and oil.

Cheers
