The world demand for oil is roughly 88 billion barrels of oil per day, sometimes 90 but that's about the upper limit. 500 or 700 billion per day is impossible, and even if it were we'd run out of global oil in a month or less.

Peak oil isn't a myth, it just isn't as close as SOME environmentalists would like it to be. I, personally, prefer technology to take us to the future, not catastrophe.

oil is technology 4dsc Jan 2012 #22

And at current rates of production, it will only take a century or so to extract all of it. NickB79 Dec 2011 #18
