  An elite government-appointed group called the National
  Conservation Commission is charged with taking a comprehensive
  inventory of natural resources in the United States and discover
  where resources are being inefficiently handled and even
  squandered. They come back to the United States Congress with an
  alarming report that the national supply of oil will be entirely
  used by within just 25 or 30 years more at the rate that the
  country is currently burning through the precious and decidedly
  finite fuel source.

  The year is 1909.


[That said, oil alarmists are still going strong today.
