If there is to be a change, who has to initiate it? Government? General Public? The rich guys like Ed Begley Jr.?
I'm not trying to sound overly cynical... and I'm trying to keep an open mind here, so I'd like to continue this discussion and see what comes from it.
We will continually plod towards destruction due to things like myopia and greed. I don't think that cost is the biggest deal because it will engender some healthy restructuring. There is a problem with simply running out of oil though because we don't have the tech (maybe not even the theory) to replace that kind of energy packaging. That won't be for quite a while though.
The change is gradual and initiated in several areas. The biggest change, however, will come in a long long time when oil corps lose some political power
