The HUGE question is when? πππ Not in our lifetime. π But it may.
Maybe sooner than you think if things don't change.
Itβs called current consumption levels.
- The world consumes 35,442,913,090 barrels of oil as of the year 2016, equivalent to 97,103,871 barrels per day.
- Global oil consumption per capita is 5 barrels of oil (199 gallons) per person yearly (based on the 2016 world population of 7,464,022,049 people) or 0.5 gallons per capita per day.
Below, if you click, there is a countdown clock where you can see the live current usage ticking away, but that is only the reserves. π Us humans have a crap load of oil in reserves aound the planet.
