      I think scientists believe that we will start running dry in the middle of the 21st century, so about 150 years from now, but it very much depends if we will use more or less oil in the future. I think the first thing that will happen is that oil prices will increase dramatically. Another consequence is that we will have to think of alternate fuels in order to keep our world as we know it. A lot of scientists are looking into creating green fuel.
