   Fedifags, what's your opinion on the idea of 'infinite oil' which has been spoken by some people in the past?

     @MK2boogaloo I don't think it is very scarce but as we get a lot of the low hanging fruit it will become more and more difficult to access the reservoirs or require drilling in many more places that we probably shouldn't be willing to drill in
     we should have transitioned to nuclear energy for much of our grid and heavy transport ages ago with petroleum being reserved for needs where that isn't feasible as well as chemistry such as plastic production

     @MK2boogaloo No idea how true it is but every time someone has announced that were about to run out of oil it didn't happen. Still I'd rather steer a little bit away from using oil for everything, mostly because of plastic.
