      From what I understand, we have enough fossil fuel to last us for a long time. The problem isn’t in the amount we have, but in how easily accessible it is to us, and to what extent we damage the planet in trying to extract enough fossil fuels to meet demand.

      Apparently an impossible question. Gas has been going to run out as long as I can remember – but we keep finding new reserves. My worry is that it does so much damage and our appetite for energy is insatiable that our planet continues to deteriorate 🙁
