/We'll never truly run out of oil as long is there is a free market/
That is a completely absurd statement. Oil is a finite resource that cannot be reused (at least when it is used for its main purpose). By definition it /must/ run out someday. We can hope to keep pushing that date back, but not forever.

- stretchwithme 17y agoI disagree. Can you name something we've completely run out of? Believe me, if gasoline costs you $50 a gallon, you'll be walking everywhere by choice. You'll pay $10 for a bus ride and love it. R&D will be in overdrive. This is not the first time human beings have encountered a scarce resource.
