I think you are both right in a way. On one hand Mookie is right by saying it's a finite resource. On the other, I have noticed the same as August with the doomsday heralds in general. I mean, for how many times have I already seen a newspaper scream: "if the solution is not found in a week, the whole EU will collapse ZOMG!!!"
Not only do they keep finding more, but also we invest in technologies that spend less. Is that a permanent solution? In the end probably not, because oil is a finite resource. On the other hand, "finite" in this case is highly relative.
