That's a ridiculous headline ("World Not Running Out Of Oil"). I can
see "World Not Running Out Of Oil As Quickly As Predicted", or even "World
Not Running Out Of Oil In This Century". But, as I'm not aware of
new reserves of oil being generated underground, we will run out
eventually. And, I feel safe in saying, we will run out of oil sooner
than we will run out of solar power (something on the order of 5 billion
years from now). Even the article itself really only addresses the next
decade.

What scarcity? What is America running out of in your view? In what
way are our prospects diminished? Most libertarians believe that if
there is a scarcity, it represents a market opportunity, and believe
that with the right choices made our prospects look good indeed.
We are running out of oil, and our entire economy is based on oil.
U.S. oil production hit its peak in 1970. World oil production is at its
peak about now.
