Éra ropy sa môže skončiť o 42 rokov.
Ak sa aj v budúcnosti bude v ťažbe ropy pokračovať súčasným tempom/množstvom, tak doposiaľ známe zásoby ropy na Zemi vystačia na 42 rokov. Koncom roku 2008 sa zásoby odhadovali na 1,258 bilióna barelov.
The world has enough oil reserves for 42 years at current production rates.
"Fossil fuels will remain the dominant source of energy well into the future", British Petroleum Ltd Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Tony Hayward, said at a presentation in London.
Global proved oil reserves fell last year, the first drop since 1998, led by declines in Russia, Norway and China, according to BP Plc.
Oil reserves totaled 1,258 trillion barrels at the end of 2008, compared with a revised 1,261 trillion barrels in 2007, BP said in its annual Statistical Review of World Energy Tuesday.
"Declines in Russia, Norway, China and other countries offset increases in Vietnam, India and Egypt," BP said on its Web site.
