[p2p-research] Oil running out far faster than predicted: report

[Ryan Lanham]

If a person could set out a reasonable expectation of a major shift, 20-30
years out, a number of other major human pieces shift in unison.  I'm not
saying you are wrong, I am saying that a map of the 20-30 years becomes
increasingly interesting as your assertion becomes more factual.
