"Huh? Are you kidding? That's just the problem - there is not "plenty of oil" left at all. In fact there really isn't much more than 50 years worth by many estimates"

... and by just as "many", if not more than ... there is plenty of oil.

Difficult = $$$. So Goldman Sach's predection of 20 year high oil prices is probably true.
