But the Natural gas is longer lasting then you think, and in Pennsylvania the natural gas reserves are three times the oil reserves the Saudis have. Natural gas is much cleaner than coal and oil. But 40 years from now there may be no need for any oil/natural gas for energy. However, are you aware of how many products come from petroleum that are used in our everyday lives? Thousands. There will be a need until cheaper alternatives can be developed. So you are probably guessing correctly that something else will come along. How many things do we have today that 40 years ago people couldn't even imagine?

Shale natural gas will I agree last for 100's of years but not oil from fracking wells so the US will always need to import oil, and that ties up with long term interests in the Middle East, that's what I'm saying Trump is burning US bridges if he is lining up behind General Haftar and will get nothing out of it, Haftar is fully bough by France and Russia, his support structures are anti US otherwise he's seen as a CIA puppet.
I know Trump's not subordinate to Hafta, Netanyahu is at the moment, but likely Trump will be pressured to comply by the CIA who really missed Haftar's bus but they're not go in to admit it.
Although Trump could go along with the NSA and do what they want, and Haftar could easily take over Libya completely, the GNA is asking Trump not to oppose Turkish support that will take at least 2 months getting passed by the Turkish Parliament.
King Salman supported the Brotherhood against Gadaffi but King Salman is 100% against GNA which isn't solely the Brotherhood any more.
The siege of Tripoli will be drawn out, its an on going issue, when Gadaffi lost Tripoli it was because British and French Special Forces were use to storm Tripoli, and the UAE had a Tank Battallion of mercenaries coming across the border from Tunisia, none of that is possible this time Tripoli will hold out and if Trump doesn't cave to the CIA then President Putin will for sure see the writing on the wall and dump Haftar, backing the winner is the name of the game in the Middle East, something the US should take into consideration.
Haftar has made deals with Putin and Macron and is already beholden to them both.
40 years from now, will be the water wars and not every one is going to make it, survival will depend on good relations, as partisan war has little restraining capabilities waged by people who have little to live for.
The end of the Techno Industrial Age means no new inventions have the ability to effect the TR Malthusian demographic prognosis for sexual restraint, where the geographic ratio in the geometric timeline becomes an ever more disastrous ratio of finite resources pitted against insatiable human wants.
Obama to his credit realised the t***h of what Malthus was on about but had no way to do anything about it, Obama was a CIA tool Trump is maybe not.
