On...Innovation and resourcefulness

I remember when I was in high school debate there were these findings about how the world was running out of coal. We only had until 2010 or something and then we'd be out. Well, here we are and we have enough coal reserves to lead us into the future. Huge coal strikes were found only a couple of years after that article was written. The same has now happened for natural gas. HERE. Of course we can't rest on our laurels but it shows how resourceful humans are (especially western civilization). We shall overcome the challenges. Innovation and resourcefulness.
