Do you guys think our natural fossil fuels will run out in our lifetime (30-40 years from now) or do you think it will take 2 or 3 generations (150-200+ years) for it to happen?

I think we will see the down slope of production, but I dont think I will be around long enough to see the end of it.

If you include natural gas, your grandkids may have to worry about it.



Nuclear + recycling spent rods for the win

There will still be plenty, it will just get progressively harder to extract until it is not a feasible source of energy.
