https://octopus.energy/blog/when-will-fossil-fuels-run-out/ https://octopus.energy/blog/when-will-fossil-fuels-run-out/ > If we keep burning fossil fuels at our current rate, it is generally estimated that all our fossil fuels will be depleted by 2060. New reserves will probably be found before this point, extending the deadline somewhat, but its worth remembering that if we are to limit global warming to the 'relatively' safe level of 2C by 2050, 80% of coal, 50% of gas and 30% of oil reserves are "unburnable". Then, may I present to you, Lawrence Livermore's Energy Consumption Resource Flow diagram: https://flowcharts.llnl.gov/content/assets/images/energy/us/Energy_US_2020.png https://flowcharts.llnl.gov/content/assets/images/energy/us/... summary (1 quad = 10^15 btu) ~32 quads of all energy input comes from natural gas ~9 quads of all energy input comes from coal ~32 quads of all energy input comes from petroleum industrial sector is estimated at about 49% energy efficient, compared to residential + commercial sector's 65%, and transportation's measly 21% 62 quads (aka roughly 2/3rds!!!) of all energy output just dissipates into the environment, as 'rejected energy' Yes folks, you read that last one right. Electrification + cleaner energy sources can't come soon enough.
