Then tight oil (a technological solution) came along, and suddenly we had more recoverable oil. Technology often solves problems that everyone assumes are insoluble.
That wasn't a solution; it was a stopgap measure that made the problem worse and harder to solve.
Bill Nye the Engineer and Science Guy teams up with Neil D. Tyson and claims we will never run out of oil. Star Talk radio.
The much harder to solve problem is the co2 in the atmosphere and oceans.
