why is it the case that there will always be oil available and that it will never really run out?

By the time it does run out, we will have the technology to live without it. In the meantime, there is enough to last AT LEAST another 100 years, if only the democrats would let us drill for it.
Why do people panic over nothing?

Errrrrrrrrrrrr................... Who told you that one? Would you like to buy this nice bridge I have for sale? It will run out. Obviously. do you think the planet earth has some pipeline to an unlimited source of oil somewhere else in this or any other universe? Latest estimates by OPEC state that at our current useage rate, the oil will run out in 150 years or so.

Yea right. It will most probably run out about 2065. So get ready, oh unless your a republican then it will last forever. If you believe that I have some ocean front property in Arizona I would like to sell you.

That is not the case. If we continue to use it up then the worlds supply will eventually run dry.

No, that is not the case.
There is only a limited amount of oil and we are using it pretty fast.
