LOL! I almost forgot about the idiocy of peak oil! Thats been a long fucking time ago since that hysteria!

You do know wind and solar use a lot of natural resources that actually are finite?

The technology needs further improvement but it's one or more steps in the right direcition. Oil and natural gas are certainly replenished but not at a rate that is even close to what is necessary based on consumption rates that are only climbing but it's very reassuring to think that oil will last forever. No different than people believing there's another life after this one so it doesn't matter if you fuck it up because some bearded clown in the sky loves you even though innocent people are killed on a regular basis no matter how much they pray.

Oil is not replenished from the Earth. It is formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals that lived millions of years ago and is not available for regeneration. The process of oil formation takes millions of years, and it cannot be replenished faster than it is extracted

Claims that oil is being replenished faster than it's being used have been proven false by numerous well regarded scientific studies.
