This is a dramatic way of putting things, and perhaps any scare story that will jar a spendthrift nation is justified, but the inevitable exhaustion of petroleum will not take place suddenly. No Paul Revere galloped to the clipper ship docks shouting "Steam is coming!" There will be a chance to adjust our machine civilization to dry oil wells if we have the sense to use the time remaining. We must recall that petroleum formed itself beneath the ground with no idea whatever that a certain egocen...tric mammal might find it of value, that if there were no petro- leum, we would have made out with something else. When oil barrels run low, our powerful desire for survival will prompt us to find a sub- stitute, which we will probably label an "improvement. " We will turn to other forms of fuel in the earth. From these alterna- tive sources of stored energy we will make aviation gasoline, kerosene, lubricating oil and all the other fluids now produced in oil refineries. After the adjustment period, we will get along about as well.
