Coal is not 'the only resource with a vast reserve'. There is also huge amounts of uranium around for use in nuclear reactors. Uranium costs a lot to extract, but nuclear reactors use very little of it. This means that the cost of nuclear energy is mainly in the construction of the plant, and cleanup of radioactive waste, so rising uranium costs have very little effect on the final electricity cost. There is about a century's worth of uranium that can be recovered cheaply, and there are already a few reactors using U-238, which is about 140 times as common as the U-235 used in conventional reactors.
Then there's the possibility of using Thorium to breed nuclear fuel (thorium is about 3 times as common as all uranium).
As well as nuclear fusion, which is expected in about 50 years or so. If you don't know what nuclear fusion is, it produces about 3 times as much energy as fission without producing radioactive waste.
And of course, there are renewable sources, such as photovoltaic cells - the fastest rising energy source.
As well as hydroelectric power, which currently produces about 20% of the world's electricity and does not use fuel.
I assume you meant the concerns about oil running out - the main problem is not 'running out', but oil becoming so expensive that the economy collapses due to no one being able to get to work, e.t.c.

He's the most pro-abortion president ever (and probably the most pro-abortion person ever), having no regard for human life including the unborn. He's misleading millions saying one thing but doing the total opposite. There are many web sites on his abortion policies.
He's a charmer, and a "sweet talker" (like a Snake) only saying what people want him to hear.
At a recent Catholic college all the crucifixes and statues had to be covered. He has created scandal at Notre Dame.
He "claims" to be
Christian but he is acting anything but like a
Christian.
I'm sure many of you can quote chapter and verse better than I can see why he's so evil.
Maybe
2012 will be the year instead of some catastrophic disaster we will get a better president.
Being pro-abortion does not make someone evil. Nearly half of your country (assuming you are from the U.S. of A) is pro abortion. I really couldn't care less if I had died when I was in the womb. I had no concept of 'self', so what was there to miss? The only thing to fear from death is loss, and there was nothing to lose.
Something else you really should know... SNAKES DO NOT TALK! They just don't. Talking is not one of the attributes of a snake. How can you equate "sweet talker" with snake? Do snakes sweet talk to you?
Lastly, you shouldn't have to be a
Christian to be president. Ever heard of 'separation of Church and State'? What happened to America being the land of religious freedom? Being
Christian is not a qualification for presidency. (Although Obama is a
Christian anyway, but the point is it wouldn't matter if he wasn't.)
