When Fossil Fuels Run Out, What Then? (It's 2060) (2019)
I see it&#x27;s time to bring out this old chestnut again. Here&#x27;s the slight of hand:<p>&gt; known natural gas reserves, we have about 52.8 years worth of natural gas reserves left.<p>The key is &quot;known ... reserves&quot;. The article blithely assumes we won&#x27;t ever find any more fossil fuels and then gloomily concludes that we have 52 years of gas left - totally absurd and obviously wrong. The fact that this comes out of Stanford is pathetic. I&#x27;ve been listening to this exact line of garbage for over 30 years. Starting in the 90&#x27;s we were going to run out of fossil fuels in a matter of decades based off known reserves and current consumption.
