yeah exactly, and surely hoping that more oil will turn up from somewhere isn't a good strategy. Why not start trying to make useful things from plant oil instead? that's probably going to be of more use, also should be fairly carbon-neutral
now i think about it, it is a little hard to accept that oil comes from squashed bugs... but if you've ever seen a fossil fern in a coal mine or been on a mountain top with sea creatures embedded in the rock it helps
nuclear power is a good idea as long as nothing goes wrong
