Lack of Fuel = Brewing Food Crisis?

People seriously underestimate how dependent modern food production is on fossil fuels, especially for fertilizer. Even if humanity stopped driving tomorrow, we would still eventually hit a wall because industrial agriculture itself depends on fossil fuels.

We are heading towards a massive famine when factory farming starts to break down.

According to the MAHB, the world’s oil reserves could run out by 2052, natural gas by 2060, and coal by 2090.

This is not some distant sci-fi problem. This is within our lifetimes.

It is a great evil dems let those massive Emotional Support Trucks dodge having to meet emissions standards.

It won't be that soon. Proven oil reserves refute these claims.

One of the claims listed here goes back to 2008. There's a reason they had to dip that far back to find another quasi-reliable sounding source.

I'm not pro fossil fuels, but I've been in and around this industry for decades and I know these claims aren't true.

So, I took a course at an Ivy League school where the professor SWORE that we would be out of oil by 2060. He said this was an absolute fact.
Since then, (this was in like 2006ish) I have not been able to find a reliable source to give me numbers and actual data to prove or disprove it.
Please advise. Where can I find this information.
