They're getting rusty and worn out.
Take "Piper Alpha" for example. |

Not a very good idea We won't have oil rigs in 50 years anyway. |

We'll still have oil rigs, it'll only be there in case if other alternatives to heating fail, or as fuel.
But we'll have Compressed Natural Gas in a few years. |

Yes, they should use a new pipe and incrase the safety, but i don't think that they have to repair the whole platform just for being rusty.
"Why won't we?"
Because we have oil reserves for 60 years left and right now we're just able to get oil for 40 years.

| Oil reserves have way longer than 60 years. I have no idea where your fantasies come from. |

Incase you didn't know, all metals rust, except for stainless steel. But stainless steel is costly. |

No, we won't be able to get oil in 60 IF WE keep consuming that much oil. |

We can't get oil out of olives or another plants too, but we're talking about fossil oil. |

It consists of hydrocarbons of various molecular weights and other liquid organic compounds." |

Oil is NOT a fossil fuel.
Oil regenerates. We sucked all the oil out of the Gulf of Mexico in the 70s, only to find more oil there a couple of years ago!
And NO, oil was not made from dinosaur bones.
Its like saying your book is made out of babies. |

Ok, first of all, oil doesn't harm the fish since it floats on water. It only harms the birch and other animals around the coast.
Second of all, the fossil oil supply is around a 100 years if you count the hard to win oil too.

It's not 100 years, it's 60 years, because of our high oil consume. |

It's 60 years when you don't count the possible not discovered oil sources with it.

Sewage can be compressed into usable fossil fuel oil.

@2013yay Antarctica and Greenland have big chances of oil. We'd at least have another 80 years of oil before we turn down to something else. Possibly nuclear power. |
