Oil runs out.. use something else and get used to electric vehicles.. or..
if it's even comprehendible (or spelt correctly) get off the arse and
walk/cycle to work.
The world shouldn't stop working if there's no oil - nor should it be
dictated by it, but it suits the agenda of non-kyoto govornments who want
whatever's left for themselves.

Do you understand that oil is used for more than just producing electricity.

Where do you think plastic comes from, plastic mines?

Absolutely, our lives are entwined with oil. Plastics, pharmaceuticals,
or, even more basic, food, all depend on oil.

Which is exactly why we need to be innovative, and find new and
renewable resources. One of the greatest inventors in ever, Thomas
Edison would be rolling over in his grave at the lack of inventive
pioneering in the fossil fuel industry today.

No..plastic trees surely..

Of course there are other uses for oil, but the primary use is for fuel and
refined oils, surely?
My point being there isn't any financial incentive - it's obviously
financially and politically cheaper to ensure the flow remains constant, at
least on whoever's watch it is.. balls to the generation that has to deal
with alternative sources - what's the point of investing in alternative
energy production that any present administration would likely pass on any
benefits to a future administration to take credit for.
