Finite yes. When? Not in yours or mine, or my children's, children's children's lifetime. I don't like the panic selling that Al Gore and others are trying to sell. I'm not an oil exploration scientist and neither are you but IMHO it will be a longer time that . Its just my opinion but the botom line is that the market will find a solution, (as long as we still have a market driven economy). This forum is getting too confrontational, but I can't stand still when panic selling is permeating the main stream media. Your statement "Its days are numbered" on this forum is not the main stream media, but you do acknowledge I hope that it is continuing half the "story". I know that some say that this is the only way to wake up the American Public but I am concerned that the whole truth is not being told out there. Yes, the days are numbered and we must handle our energy consumption better, and explore other means of energy. However, we are not going to exhaust all the oil we can drill for in 10 years, as former VP, Al Gore has alluded to with his "call to arms". One last point, American ingenuity in private enterprise will get us to the next level; not the government. I know you didn't say anything about the government; I just think that too many people think the big "G" will take care of this.
