The points you bring up are minor in the grand scheme of things. I doubt even the unbelievable growth in Canadian oil sands production will be enough to sustain global oil production increases for much longer, if at all. As for the possibilities of additional synthetic from shale and coal, that's a more significant question. There are potentially trillons of barrells of oil that could *perhaps* be generated from the shale in the US alone.
