International trading will go on as long as there is water and wind .

Start to rely on wind power and solar power and anything of the like, then when everyone else (except Russia, damn they have much oil) you guys can sell it.

@Muxxyy Humans can be turned too...

@mwillblade I think itt will go on as long as there is life.

so... we have about 41 years of oil left?

or if demand grows, then even less.

Damn, I better get a bigger SUV and burn up my share of gas before some hippy makes me use solar power.

well, considering "everything" can be turned into oil - i'd say we're not seeing "peak oil" any time soon. the only change will be a way we get it - instead of digging for it, we'll be making it from trash and...food waste. children joke that oil is made of "dinosaurs"..but it's true in that we're carbon-based life forms, and everything from trees to chicken nuggets can be turned into oil under heat and pressure. the technology already exists.

@MEZ92 lol actually from the actual peak GOOGLE IT.

@djsouthernknown Did you calculate with arithmetic? The percentage of consumption increases every year(Keep in mind exponential growth) I'd say we have at 18 years max.
