How long will the world's oil last?

" We really are close enough to the edge to have no excess capacity. Demand growth shows no sign of slowing and now it seems to be accelerating "


No one is knowing exactly how much oil is left. Some say that the current oil bed will not last longer than 50-60 years from now while according to others we even don't have that much time.  The rate at which the demand has increased has raised lots of concerns. The current rate of increase in demand cannot be met by developing the existing oil beds and we all are aware that exploring new oil beds is not a matter of days. What will happen then ?


Its really difficult to even imagine. Withing few seconds we see ourselves going back to primitive ages.




So now the problem is clear, we should now think of the solution to this.
Alternatives  are surely giving some hopes but they have their own limitations.One thing is clear from all the researches done till date that No alternative can match the capabilities of oil.

Scientists and Researchers are doing their jobs. They are already working hard in finding out some efficient alternative to oil.


Common People can also add to their work by giving them more time.
We are sure that oil is going to exhaust some day, at least we can help making this day appear as late as possible.

Do whatever best you can do to contribute to this.

Imagine the world without oil

Use it judiciously & help the world going
Green.
