How long do we have before oil gets too expensive in production costs from the diminished reserves/pollution ?

Reserves are lower than previously thought, perhaps even in Iran and Saudi Arabia. Oil shale (and Canadian oil) will be much more costly to produce…. and the costs of global warming are HUGE, more than spending even the billions wasted… Continue Reading
