You've got me confused by that statement. I guess in my mind it stands to reason- if everybody stopped pumping out oil; of course it would continue to sit in the ground.

Or did you mean something else that went over my head?

in 100 years I'll probably still have this headache and need a nap

that's not change, more of a constant but thought I'd share

is still think that morality will be lost- compare the world to 100 years ago its flabbergasting how truly different it has become, from the days of common place slavery, women not having a right to vote, mindboggling advancemnt in technology its crazy to think what will happen next. Especially if we can clone sheep and cats now, what happens in the future, what become ethical and what doesnt?

There is enough oil in Ft. McMurray to keep the opperation going for another 300 years. Rumours of the depletion of fossil fuels tend to be greatly exaggerated.

really? every report or talk that I've seen (some from oil companies, some not) say 80-120 years from now we will have no oil, or it will be so expensive, only the filthy rich will be able to afford it. Is that 400 years if only Canada uses it's own oil? You say at "present rates of consumption", but aren't those rates increasing every year?

can you provide some proof of what you're saying, because I'm interested in reading that. Everything I've heard says the opposite.
