Will we run out of oil? How much global supply exists? How much of the supply is economically viable to extract? What are the long term plans of global oil suppliers? Could oil become so expensive that we will fight a world war over it? How are the energy demands of the developing world affecting global supply and markets? What efficiences are being developed to meet the increasing demand for oil? Will alternatives ever come close to reducing our economic dependency on oil? Has the global supply of oil peaked? We’ll take up these questions on Weekday.
