Good video. I have a degree dealing oil / natural gas. I live next to an oil field that once ran "out" of resource, and by this I mean it went from producing 20k BBL/day to just 20 BBL/day. 15 years later they went back to check old equipment and after checking the down hole pressure they realized AND learned the 'rock' around the formation was porous enough that oil during this time was seeping back in. This was the first oil well scientist and industry realized that oil in fact over time WILL refill the well. FURTHERMORE, they have developed unique techniques to "wash" oil off and out of walls without fracking to recover more. This is what they're doing on Alaska's north slope. They have 30 - 40 more years of oil because of this. ALSO there has been some new discoveries in which have not been mentioned to the community yet. Would like to say I am all for renewable "green clean" energy, but want people to realize to manufacture, dig, and transport this stuff still requires coal / crude products, especially when it comes to maintenance.

@@gastromacho2 - Other resources are a good idea but remember oil is needed for everything from strip mining to the grease in the wheel bearings and plastics found in the Tesla. Wind turbines are very bad, they have a larger oil consumption footprint and then their blades are not recyclable with large blade graveyards. I think green energy does not exist, not at least in the sense they want us to believe, but greener energy does exist. I do not think we will fully get away from oil ever, actually, I am 100% positive about that. I personally don't know the answer and honestly, no one does know. Perhaps in the future, we will have a better understanding of figuring something out that is high energy and low impact. We just need to be smarter with our consumption to start with.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a supporter of continued use of fossil fuels, but I have more reasons than the global temperature. I just don't think that replacing them with expensive, unreliable wind turbines that have to actually be shut down when the wind speed is too high is a particularly good idea.

I don't like the crap that gets tossed around about wind turbines by people who don't know what they're talking about. I thankfully DO know what I'm talking about, seeing as I'm an Environmental Engineer and all, and I can TELL you that the "problems" with wind turbines are all bollocks. They provide a plentiful and reliable energy source
@magnuskremlin

They're unreliable because they rely on a natural phenomenon that humanity has no hope of controlling. Wind power works as an excellent supplement but is unlikely to ever function as a primary energy producer. In 2015, according to government statistics, energy consumption stood at 303TWh. During this same period, wind turbines generated a mere 40TWh. Assuming that energy consumption doesn't increase, to completely replace fossil fuels, the country would need nearly 5 times as many wind turbines as have been built in the last ten years. And you'd probably need more than that to account for when wind speed is too low, or so high that the turbines have to be shut down to prevent damage caused by the tips creating a sonic boom. I don't have a problem with wind turbines as an energy supplement to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, but they cannot stand as a truly viable replacement

Being able to set water on fire require very unique chemical combos to be the results of something other than oil. Filip Jakacki I am not sure what you are saying here. Water doesn't combust naturally when fire is applied to it. You need to separate the oxygen from the hydrogen atoms to be able to use them as burnable fuel. Plus there are plenty of other methods of acquiring energy nowadays than just oil and coals. Oh and during the dark ages (in Europe) about 80-95%of the population was illiterate so technically books were generally regarded as more of a luxury than not.

If it continues to grow for the next 10 years with the same rate of 10%, then it will double again, reducing the "it will last us 50 years" to "oops we run out of the stuff 5 years ago".

Facts, stick to facts not bullshit assumptions. For one, oil is renewable. I discovered this one spring after leaving leaves in my son's red wagon over the winter. When spring came the leaves all had converted into oil from the cycles of freezing and thawing throughout the winter. The small amount of leaves in his little wagon all turned into a black thin layer of oil in the bottom of the wagon that was water tight. If this happened in just a few months what do you think would happen to all the leaves and plant matter that accumulates over time? This is possibly why oil wells that had run dry after a few years contain oil again. Because it is renewable! The Earth will never run out of oil as long as trees can still make leaves.

Jago Bridgland I agree... we humans often have a tendency to ignore problems until we are personally affected by them. Only once the reality of a given problem is standing on our doorstep, will we jump into action and do something about it. We are an intelligent and creative species, but we are also inherently lazy.

theRICKbowman Will people jump to action? I believe that factions will stand on the ash heap of civilization blaming one another for the disaster. Action is going to require one side or another admit their guilt, make amends and agree with the other side to take action. Today's political climate has everyone digging deeper into their positions and declaring that they will not compromise. BTW, didn't you know that climate change and peak oil are fake news conspiracies headed by China to make America less competitive. From under 10 feet of water DC is going to demand reparations from China.

Key problems of current renewables are a) inability to store electricity, and b) variance in generation out of phase with consumption and not conducive to grid high voltage maintenance. This means that for every wind turbine or solar panel you need back-up by a constant always-on source. The choice here is either nuclear or non-renewables. So for every pretty windmill you spot, a nasty nuclear/conventional power station is lurking in the background.

Oil is not a fossil fuel, it's a product of the earth's magma. "Fossil fuel" is a marketing term, like "man made global warming." I remember the headline in 1970 : "Oil to run out by 2000." And, of course, by 1971 oil began it's inexorable price rise. By the way, the Russians scientists discovered the true nature of oil long ago, but that did not fit the oil companies plan to market oil as a limited resource.

Bacteria at the beginning of life on earth were photosynthetic. After millions upon millions of years, certain types of fungi and bacteria developed the ability to digest and thus decay organic material, rather than using the sun for energy. At that point, the trillion tons of organic material laying around suddenly decomposed completely. At that point, oil production on earth grinded to a near halt. All the oil we have access to is from a specific point in earths history. Hence why it’s only found at certain depths underground. I’m sure Scishow has a video on it if you’d like to educate yourself further. Quick side note, humans know how to make oil. It’s literally just hydrogen and carbon. It would make your gas $20 a gallon, but we’ll never run out.
