   I claim no expertise, but AFIK it is not a matter of running out   
   of oil: there will always be oil at a price.   
      
   The real issue is the crossover point between the cost curves of   
   fossil-based energy and renewable energy.   
      
   I have no clue what the slopes of those curves look like and   
   therefore not the faintest idea when they will cross... but that   
   *is* the issue, not "running out" of oil.
