I bet if you dig into those “facts and figures”, you will find the phrase “at current rates of consumption” at the root of those “years of reserves left” calculations.

We are not running out of energy . . . unless like BP in its statement, pretending the only energy forms are 1) petroleum and 2) the ones BP can profit from
From your “kicking the can down the road” I inferred
“We must switch to non=coal, non-natural gas, non-nuclear or else we are running out.”
Should I trust you now agree and concur with my 200 year statement?
We are not running out.
Even if, because if the war in Ukraine, etc. we must eliminate petrol use,
there is lots and lots of energy.
but certain folks, including BP, want to pretend the only petrol alternative
are things BP can profit from (not coal, not nat gas, not nuclear)
