Unlike climate change EVERYONE agrees we're running out of oil, it's just a matter of time and whether you're a doomer or an optimist. Climate change is a sideshow.
But anyways.. if you're sensible you'll stop arguing on a message board and go an invest in oil exploration and services stocks and maybe a few hundred hectares of Canadian permafrost ;)

That's the whole problem I have. If someone mentions that they'd love to buy an electric car or use solar panels on their house, they're called a hippie, treehugging, freak. The oil companies, lobbyists, and paid off Congressmen have turned "being green" into an insult. Kind of like how "progress" is now deemed an insult in politics.
