Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

If that is true, we are screwed because we will use that up in about 30 years, given that our current rate of consumption is 30 billion barrels every year. But given that world population will increase during the next 30 years, the rate of consumption will also likely increase. Meaning that our current supply of oil will likely be consumed in less than 30 years.

I'm not sure why a guy with over 5000 posts on this board needs to have this explained to him, but anyway ...
There is no real fixed amount of recoverable oil, and there is even less of a fixed amount of economically recoverable oil.
