Regardless of whether that's true or not, we have clearly exhausted many oil fields. Those show no sign of regenerating. Whatever mechanism may or may not exist to regenerate accessible oil reserves, it does not appear to operate quickly enough for us.

The “running out of oil” canard has been running since the 1920’s, do keep up, please. I had a UA captain during the first energy crunch tell me, in all seriousness, we would run out in July 1979. Didn’t happen.
You might note the increase in US oil production using fracking technology after years of production declines.

Technology advances, and price increases to pay for them, have put off peak oil for the foreseeable future. I suspect we'll migrate to renewable, greener, energy before we no kidding run out. Aircraft may be among the last consumers of bulk oil products, and by that time it could be 50% or more bio fuel.

Obviously not a definitive source by any means, but it is a good starting point:

You might just learn something if you simply open your mind.

I don’t understand why this is being disputed. Apparently almost no one here knows anything about geology.
