Despite assurances from the handwringers, the imminent demise of the world's oil supply - as predicted DECADES ago - has proven more than a bit premature. Known world reserves have more than doubled since the "experts" of the time first sounded the alarm and more seems to be found every year. The same handwringers now warn of our imminent demise at the hands of the hydrocarbons released by - you guessed it - all the oil they said we didn't have. After we shackle all the lawyers, I say we silence all the scientists.
