If you honestly believe the earth produces oil at any rate we consume it, you need to go back to your math classes.

If the earth produced oil at our current rate, for the last 400 million years, that quantity would equal the entire surface would be covered with it 6 miles thick.

I didn’t say that. I just said finite in that it never stops producing it. Rate is another issue and where they are finding it is yet another. I just don’t subscribe to the sky is falling mentality because one day someone will solve the perpetual motion mystery along with many other means of producing energy at the least as economic as oil. If they already haven’t. I honestly don’t believe the government and the oil companies want to see that day, which is understandable to a point, but to paint is a chicken little is disingenuous at best.
