In reading the excel spreadsheet, I think that it says (2001) that the world's
proved reserves of oil was 1.05*10^12 barrels, while the oil usage
was 74.5*10^6
barrels daily. I compute 1.05*10^12/(365*74.5*10^6) as being 38.6
years worth of
proven reserves with no new discoveries.
What am I missing Glenn?
