Reply #5: That's one way to look at it.

[Renew Deal]

Many people believe that oil will be instantly replaced with something else as soon as it's needed. Others believe that it's impossible.

I don't get what that last statement is trying to make. It doesn't make sense. I believe that there's a difference between reserves and the oil still in the ground. Also, the fact that there were 1,050 billion barrels in 2000 is meaningless. The oil supply will increase with the demand until the peak hits (a peak on a slope). I'm not sure why they are stretching so far to refute peak oil.

Start going through these links. Also search google for the "die off".
