A prediction from 1976:
“We need to have, uh, a realization that we’ve got about 35 years worth of oil left in the whole world. We’re gonna run out of oil.”
That scientific certainty was from candidate Jimmy Carter during the 1976 Presidential Debate.

Here is some math:
- 1976 – date of prediction
- 35 – years of oil left on entire planet
- 2011 – year we ran out of oil
It must be a figment of my imagination that I have put gasoline in my car so many times in the last five years. Recall all those oil wells in North Dakota that are showing up on my blog? They must be made of cardboard.
Continuing his befuddled, fuzzy-brained analysis, Mr. Carter went on to say:
“We need to shift from oil to coal. We need to concentrate our research and development effort on coal-burning and extraction. It’s safe for miners. It’s also clean burning.”
