Energy and fossil fuel use.

This paper provides information on: fossil fuel use; fuel supply security; fossil fuel reserves (regional reserves, methane hydrates and UK supply of fossil fuels); and sustainable fuel sources. It is clear that the supply of fossil fuels is finite, considering how it was produced, but the discussion centres around how long the stocks will last and the extent of the fossil fuel reserves. The world's dependence on a constant supply of energy means that whatever the estimate of the fossil fuel reserves, renewable sources need to be introduced as rapidly as possible.
