You know, you lose a lot of credibility when you say something like that and you've got so many organizations saying something completely different.

Not even the most ardent green says we'll run out of oil?

I don't know if a guy who worked for BP, ChevronTexaco and Exxon qualifies as an "ardent green" but he says that while we don't have to worry about it for a long time, we WILL run out of it.

We won't run out tomorrow, or next year, or next decade, or maybe even the next century. But sooner or later, there will be no more oil. It is a finite resource and it is being depleted.
