I don't know for sure, but what if there isn't a limit on oil at all? What if there isn't a limit on gold or silver or platinum either? I mean humans have made jewelry since at least the time of the Celts but probably back to the Egyptians, but we're sill using and having gold! And it's still plentiful enough to be sold in stores and jewelry shops! Same with silver! What if there's no such thing as a nonrenewable resource? I mean, if resources were going to run out, then we would have mined all of a resource after about 4-12 years, but we are still able to mine/get these resources!
This might just be flat-out insane, and I am not sure how this could happen outside of a philosophical or paranormal method, standard geology doesn't seem like it could do this in the quantities required, but the data I looked at seemed to suggest that the standard idea of running out quickly is not easily visible and undeniable, at least not as of now.
The USGS has a mineral deposit map viewable in Google Earth. And Minex Consulting has discovery and mining data.
