Will the Earth "run out" of oil this century?


By "run out", I do not mean we will use up all the oil. What I mean is that it will take more energy to drill a barrel of oil than the amount you obtain, making it useless to drill oil.

There was a movie about this a couple years ago. It's called Underwater. They find a massive oil source in the Marina Trench and build a facility down there to extract it. But something goes wrong. It's a horror movie

But anyway, I bet something like that, hopefully without the horror parts, comes true this century

The oil industry will never give up until they are forced to

Why are you bringing up politics in this topic? I never mentioned politics. This is the reason the world is getting worse.

Because Republicans deny climate change and parrot about alternative energy being bullshit? Eventually they'll realize that the FREE energy of the SUN doesn't cost anything but installation and maintenance.

because its an issue caused by politics. one side doesnt want renewables because it would be bad for some mega corps or "too expensive". if we only looked at the issue with logic and there was no political corruption involved we wouldnt be in this mess. end of story

The sources are already found. It's just not cost-effective to extract yet, while there's still oil under the Saudis.
