There is plenty of oil to last for a good while. I suggest a little more research. The tar sands themselves will last a good while and plenty left to drill before it hits the peak.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for developing new energy sources, just not into the scare-mongering "peak oil" crap that isn't close in the near(50 to 100 years) future.
Venus isn't inactive it just has long periods of inactivity before enough pressure builds and a huge amount of its surface gets covered in molten lava. This is due to no water being on the planet thereby lacking the necessary lubrication for plate technonics and an active surface like us.
I don't get it when it comes to picking which planet to terraform. Mars will never work, its core is dead, which is why the planet is dead with little to no atmosphere. Venus's core is still kicking, we just need to bleed off some of the atmosphere and increase its rotation a little. Still a monumental task but doable, whereas Mars is dead and will remain that way without an active core.

Then HW gets its revenge by making lame video game movies such as the upcoming DOOM movie that has almost nothing to do with game except the title.
Spawn got a PG-13 rating and it still included Hell. Movie still sucked but it still included Hell.
Sorry, the last name is "Maglich" and I have another word to add, "Aneutronics".
All I have to say about this is two words, "Bogdan Malich". Let me add another, "Migma".
There is an excellent interview(video and audio) at thebroken.org with Kevin for anyone that cares.
I would much rather see Jessica Corbin. She's the hottest chick on that channel.
