Question: How long do you think until we deplete our oil supply

Duncan McNicholl answered on 13 Nov 2017:

People don’t seem to be able to make up their minds about this one, but it probably won’t be that long. I reckon you’ll be alive to see it. One of the things about this idea is that we’re never going to be able to get all the oil from under the ground, because the more we take, the harder the stuff that’s left is to get to. At some point, it won’t be affordable to drill for any more oil, because all the stuff that’s left will be in small pockets in silly places. I definitely think that that’s going to happen in the next hundred years, but there’s no real way to tell.
