+Making oil requires a specific series of geological accidents over
+inconceivable amounts of time. First, organic-rich sediment needs to
+be burried faster than it can decay. Then the stuff needs to get pushed
+miles down into the earth's crust to be cooked slowly. Burried too
+deep or cooked too fast and the organic molecules burn off;
+trapped too shallow or not for long enough and the muck never
+turns into oil. Finally, an impermeable layer needs to seal the
+oil in a porous layer of rock from which it can be recovered. Then
+somebody has to find it and get it out of the ground. It takes
+millions of years to produce a barrel of oil; we use millions of
+barrels a day. There is no question that we will run out of oil ---
+the only question is when.
