It's hilarious how we all think we know what the future holds or have a general idea of the direction that the future is heading towards. I had friends 10 years ago that were literally kept up at night because of peak oil theory and how were were at the precipice of the end of the oil age due to dwindling oil supplies. I personally wouldn't sweat it (I'm not saying O&G will always be here for us, just that there's plenty of paths the future could take that we can't wrap our heads around right now). At lot of stupid decisions get made going all in and preparing for a certain future that doesn't come. Sometimes there's a great advantage to not being the first mover on things.

It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so.
