The world’s oil production peaks in 2012, and runs out in 2070. When the price of gas hits $10 per gallon, and the Bushs and Cheneys are safe and sound in the Palaces in Dubai, where will you be?
At the end of our DNA strands, there are tiny strings called telemeres. They wear down as we age and when they are gone, we die. But, a virus infecting that coupling between telemeres and DNA locks down the natural growth of our telemeres. Within our lifetimes, in less than twenty years, we will all be able to extend our lives between 200 and three hundred years . . .and they will be youthful years. Those today who say that the future of our children and our grandchildren do not matter because they themselves will not be here, should not be allowed to receive the cure for that virus and should spare the future their short-sightedness and their selfishness. What this asker, I believe, is considering is the accumulation of enormous wealth and power that the oil greedy and the plunderers will be able to use against our freedom, that those who have the oil and that power do and will continue to control prices and restrict free enterprise and the development of alternative alternatives. It is a serious and genuine concern.

2070? Probably in heaven. I’d be 103 and I don’t think you’d want me driving at that age anyway.

Driving my all electric pick up truck down the middle of the 101 freeway hauling ass at 90 mph because all those still stuck with gas eaters will have to wait for the subway! What? It could happen.

It will not run out in 2070. That is a rumor started by the damn tree hugging liberals. There is still thousands of years of oil left in the world. We can actually be completly independent with oil production by converting coal to oil. THey are both hydrocarbons and it can easily be done. If we would do that, and drill more in Alaska, we could go thousands of years without buying a drop of oil form the Middle East.
So, to answer you question I will be long dead in thousands of ears.

You’re logic fails.
There are plenty of other fossil fuels to use.. Canada has about 100 years of oil sands. There is also about 100 years of oil shale in North America. Then when these run out we will be gasifing coal and using biofuels like alcohol. If we ever hit $10 gasoline it will be because of political reasons not resources.

Hmmmm probably dead.
I’m into alternative energy.
My grandfather died in a horse vs motorcycle wreck. He was in his 80’s and couldn’t drive anymore. So he bought a horse. One day a off road dirt bike spooked the horse and my Grandfather fell to his death.
