That's pretty much assuming we find no new reserves, develop no new ways of better harvesting what we do have, develop new technologies to take the strain off, etc. etc. In other words, I wouldn't be surprised if they still had oil to use 141 years from now. This, my Geology professor who works with oil numbers and such every day says that we have nothing to worry about for quite awhile. We've barely tapped the surface when it comes to reserves and such and they're developing easier and less harmful ways to extract the hard to get stuff that was previously unattainable. Why couldn't I have a prof like yours? The Geography course I took last year had two profs 9they took turns) basically spending three months telling us that humans are evil creatures depleting the oil reserves.
