When will the world's oil run out?

Question

What will you prefer after that, electricity or cycle or horse for transport?

Answer 1

Certainly not as soon as the chart you posted predicts.  The coal estimate is especially ridiculous; there are hundreds of years worth of known reserves of coal.

• "The world will run out of oil in 10 years."
  • - U.S. Bureau of Mines (1914)
• "The world will run out of oil in 13 years."
  • - U.S. Department of the Interior (1939 and 1950)
• "The world will run out of oil and other fossil fuels by 1990."
  
  • - Paul Erlich, Limits to Growth (1973)
• "The world will run out of oil in 2030, and other fossil fuels in 2050."
  • - Paul Erlich, Beyond the Limit (2002)
