It is already. The point the article brought home to me is that the "we're running out of oil" argument appears to have finally met its demise.

That is quite a revelation for me. But then I'm old enough to remember otherwise sane, intelligent, highly educated people postulating that, because there were only so many dinosaurs, there was only so much oil, and that furthermore we were going to completely exhaust the world supply of the stuff by 1976. Or 1981. Or 19.... well, you get the idea.
