I estimate that the world is going to run out of gas in the next 7 to 12 years there will be NOT enouph alternate fuel source by then. If you think about it. Planes, ships, cars, truck, everything needs gas if there is going to be none APOCALYPSE. But you can live longer with reserves of 200 gal of water and substancial amount of food!!

The world will run out of crack sooner at the rate you're consuming it.

Store a lot of beans, make your own gas.

What is the rate of consumption of hydrocarbons. What are the projected reserves in the world. Do you have any idea what you are talking about?

Oh really ok let me calculate it for you
there are 500,000,000 million cars each consumes 2 gal per day
that makes 1,000,000,000 gal a day * 365= 365,000,000,000 gal a year not counting air planes.
How much gas is there?Not much left!

Last I heard, we have some number of hundreds of years left with our KNOWN supplies.


[edit] Let me calculate it for YOU. Earth is big. Really big. And it's got oil in it somewhere. Lots of oil. :)

I don't think he does...its gonna be a long while before we run out. There are plenty of stocks not currently being tapped because of how much it costs to do so but as easier-to-find oil decreases these will suddenly become worth it. Then we'll look back fondly at the $35/barrel prices :( But still, it isn't gonna run out soon.

atomic are you just pulling a lozer? Where you get that number of cars from?

DIDn't you see the number !!!!
There is not much left !!!!!
A couple of hundred years in the 60s maybe but back than the consumtion was 20 x as small and it all works out 200 years /20x as small = 10 years!!

You have no proof, your facts are incomplete, and your profile is disabled.

These are the 3 facts which completely undermine your opinion.

Are you out of your mind?
Cars get more MPG that's true but how many cars where there back than 50 million at most!!!!!
And the world population was 1.5 billion not 6

Hmm. This is somewhat reminiscent of the response I got when I posted a similar thread some MONTHS back. I get my info from a reputable magazine, which also has old articles online. Let's see if i can find it.

Hmm... can't seem to search the archives? Oh! It's near the bottom.
Gas supply running low

The paper I'm looking at says the US alone had about 152,000,000,000 barrels in reserve in 1998.

Did you know that the oil contained under the state of WYOMING is enough to sustain the world for over 80 years?

It's really important that you not think about this issue. It can be very disturbing and may scare you. It makes much more sense to back into the future with a blindfold on. Oil, hell there's an infinite supply of oil. Don't worry, especially don't plan. If something happens just riot and get out your guns and kill for gas. Mexico and Canada need statehood anyway. So does Iraq and Saudi Arabia. Everything will be ok. The saucer people have free energy.

Yes according to my calculations it's enough for 6 months (at 500 million cars=World but Us has 200 million so thats 1.5years) (SEE ABOVE)!
But do you really think they are going to give it to the people?
It' for the military. They are probably going to attack Iraq or some other OPEC contry.! And it's in case somebody might attack the us !

15million barrels per day (US Only) consumption.
Let's see.. that leaves us with 27 years?

edit: according to atomicans car formula, 20million barrels a day are used in cars. 1 000 000 000/50

it's not 15 it's 30 or more just for cars!
I'm not talking about only cars (airplains, house heating ...)
