They predict with in 75 to 100 years from now.

That is what they say to the public. It is more like 20 to 30 years at the current rate of use and increase which is exponential . Some scientist say the Oil companies and the Middle East, are now getting to worry. They need to get as much for what is left as fast as possible, before the countries get the idea we do not need it and go to solar and geothermal. I took geology and believe me there no where near the oil they say there is. At least accessible oil. Granted there is probably lots in the ocean and very deep in the ocean, and areas that are protected or frozen. But it is not worth getting it.

There is only so much of it in the earth, it takes millions of years to make more and we are using it up at a much faster rate than the earth is making it. At some point it there just won't be enough to go around.

Fortunately, we have hundreds of years of fuel left while we search for safer and cleaner alternatives.
