When I was in college I took an ecological science class. We were told that the world would be 100% depleted of every drop of oil in 22 years. I never forgot that.

However, I took that class in 1990. 2012 has come and gone and lo and behold, there is still oil to be found on planet Earth.

It is not just oil - there are massive resources of natural gas that are easily accessible so whenever I hear that we hit peak oil and we are done, I know that I am listening to someone with an agenda rather than someone that is honest and knows the facts.
