Oil will never run out. Oil prices will rise over time and alternative fuel prices will fall, so at some point we'll just switch to alternative fuels/energy sources.

Sod the price of food rising, I own several vehicles, my monthly fuel bill is phenominal.
If somebody can come up with a way to reduce my fuel costs by 55% even if it meant buying new vans at 3 times the current market price; to run on a new fuel that would produce the same performance, it would be economically viable.

A bloke up the pub told me that they've developed an engine that runs off the plentiful supply of nitrogen in the atmosphere. I said that's great - if the only by-product turned out to be nitrous oxide we'd be laughing.

Originally posted by DimPrawnA few years ago I was drinking with a mate who had come up with a fool proof means of making fuels from old kebabs discarded on a Friday night.
Needless to say, a few weeks later he was tragically killed in a hit and run accident.
Need I say more...

Originally posted by AtWIf I remember correctly it becomes economically viable to make syntetic fuel from coal when oil price reaches $60-70, which it has so far, but people are holding out hoping it will fall rather than invest money into infrastructure and not depend on backwards countries.
