> Peak Oil Clarification

It really doesn’t matter where the oil comes from. It isn’t created overnight, and it isn’t likely to replace itself within our lifetime. Trees grow back, too, but that doesn’t mean the forest cover is unlimited. You can still cut them all down and then have none. It’s nice to think that a few thousand years from now, the human race may be able to have another try at technological civilization. But then again, it may not.
