Actually, since oil is a finite natural resource, some form of alternative energy will HAVE to "replace" oil ... but your talking point estimates about how much oil is left and how long it will last are about as far from the truth as Al Gore's 'global warming' hypocritial personal actions are from what he's telling US to do to save energy.

I have resisted bringing the topic of global warming to this discussion because it seems to currently rank up there with gay marriage and abortion for bi-polar opinions but I have to ask, do you believe the global temperature increases, loss of glaciers and polar ice, and increased hurricane activity are due to human impact or just the earths natural cycle?
