Check out the massive amounts of unconventional sources, thats all the proof you need.

No proof of that nedded.
got any proof?
Umm, oil is produced faster than thought. Check google. Oil wasn't just created, it is being made right now, underground.

One word: Nucular Power! 
There's enough realistically minable Uranium for at least a thousand years, possibly much more, even at increased enrgy demands. With future breeder reactors it could be hundreds of thousands of years. Quick reference I found: http://www.americanenergyindependence.com/uranium.html And wikipedia says:
Quote:
Uranium is a naturally occurring element found at low levels in virtually all rock, soil, and water. It is considered to be more plentiful than antimony, beryllium, cadmium, gold, mercury, silver, or tungsten and is about as abundant as arsenic or molybdenum
So nuclear energy is used for hydrogen production which we put into our cars. And the remaining oil reserves are used for plastics. Even plants can be used for plastics.
The nuclear waste problem is a non-issue. Just bury it in glass and concrete in deep underground old mines. Nuclear Meltdown can be totally avoided by pebblebed reactors. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pebble_bed_reactor
Energy problem is no problem, I'm more worried about Global Warming if it indeed becomes a real problem. But I don't think it would be that much of a problem. Earth has been much warmer in the distant past. We'll just have to adapt.

I read an article a couple months back in popular science that went into detail about a new nuclear process that I could not understand.
The gist was is that that it is now 95% efficeint instead of 5% and that waste is drastically reduces and its dangerous half life was drastically reduced.

"Oil Crash=Doomsday"

It could also reverse. Global warming triggering a collapse of the gulf stream which would mean big ice sheets spreading into europe.

Freeker said: Life follows its evolutionary cycle, humans made their way to the planet by evolving, and one day the Homo Sapien age will die off, and more sophisticated Homos will evolve. Perhaps Homos with tougher skin as to resist rough weather, or Homos with the plantlike ability to create their own food, or perhaps Homos with the ability to hibernate as to save resources. Who Knows?
We may even have Homos that are resistent to STDs and have only one gender. It will be a new super breed of Homos, gay sex and no STDs, wow.....
Anyways, natural cycles take care of all. The next ice age will occur and we will all be forced to move to the equator. There the overwhelming number of people, livestock, and farmland will be so packed together that new/unknown diseases will nearly destroy the human race. The human race will not die though, our best and brightest will survive along with enough working class to keep the shit the best and brightest think up built and maintained. But thanks to the technology they create the human race will never evolve past where we are; to evolve you need a reason, by using technology to evolve our environment(instead of our environment evolving us) we ourselves will not be shaped and changed the way our environment once did for us. If the human race evolves in anyway it will be in social classes, the working class will get their own physical features(extra arms, more muscle mass, ect) and the thinkers will most likely stay the same(probably a larger brain size if anything).
Now this thread is about oil and how a drastic fall in its production will send the world into a whirlwind of panic and violence. Oil will not stop being used during this ice age, it may actually be used more, but the decrease in people will mean that even if each person uses twice as much as we do now it will still be considerably less than what we all use now.
It just occurred to me that time is a big factor in this too, global panic and war may still happen if the drop in oil happens before the ice age, and the human race may not survive if the oil shortage and ice age happen at around the same time. But oil is a replenishable fuel source, the only problem is the time it takes to replenish itself and what it uses to replenish itself. The oil we use now was made by a giant mass of wildlife and vegetation that got covered in rock and decomposed under enormous pressure and heat.
Wow, I've written a lot. I actually forgot where I was going with this. I'll ponder this while the rest of you reply to this and or any other post.
