I'm not sure that I buy the argument that the world is running out of oil. If anything, this may be the excuse the giant oil cartels are using to control the price and flow. I think there could be ample supplies if it weren't for Detroit making fuel inefficient cars and the rise of SUVs on American highways.

This fear of depleting oil has been used as a pretext for drilling in the Artic and other natural habitats which would yield comparitively little product. I think that combining the fuel usage with alternative energy sources would result in a sufficient oil supply for decades. I believe that there is a spate of propaganda by the oil producers to jack up the price including Haliburton.
