ok, so it may be a few years away, but we have scientests working overtime to develop e85 flexfuel cars that run on corn and other oils, hydrogen cell cars, and more efficent solar panels.

The oil crisis will be short lived according to many experts because some believe that we are on the verge of major breakthroughs in the areas i listed above. If we can get cars that run on hydrogen, the most abundent element in the universe, and only have water as a byproduct this world will do just fine.

One other thing to keep in mind is that exxon mobil are posting record profits which means they are jacking the price of the stuff by a large margin because they know that people will pay for it. $3 gas hasnt slowed the demand, and in a free econmey they would be smart to keep raising the price if people are going to pay

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.
