Here we go with a poll, you can either red this before, or do this google search and read some of the hits or just vote with your current feeling about the oil crisis

Also there is one oil field in the Middle East that has put out more than 50 biillion barrels of oil since it was started 50 years ago, and it's still going strong. That's 1 billion barrels a year. Quite a large number if you ask me.

The world currently uses 30 billion barrels of oil per year. To keep the economy moving along, we need about an additional one billion barrels per year.

Of which we have more than plenty.
So in the long run, who needs fossil-fuel?
As an afterthought: most of my Guinness is also water. Perhaps I could piss in my tank and still drive home when I get one of them hydrogen cars??
Hydrogen generation uses electricity. And that electricity generally comes from, wait for it - fossil fuels...
Hydrogen cars just move the oil usage and the pollution further down the line. Its still there.
Has anyone considered the increased oil usage that is the result of China and India's booming economies? That will surely bring the end of our oil reserves sooner rather than later.
