We can use many things, but in total they won't offset more than a fraction of the oil we lose to depletion.
That's the key.
Oil shale and tar sands are more far fetched, IMO, than GW.
Good that you're here.
I encourage you to read muchly. If you do, you will eventually become as doomerish as the best of us.

You wonder why people can be in denial of peak oil and you end your essay about how you are smarter than the average bear by brushing off global warming? Get loooost you hypocrite!

There seems to be a glut of heavy oil right now. Refining capacity has to be built out to handle it and I'm surprised not to hear more news of that happening. You'd think they would be interested in that long before skipping down the EROEI scale to the level of tar sands and shale.
