yes i agree. We have to start pumping water down the holes to get the oil up. Many say we are at Peak oil now give (10) or take (2) years.
there is lots of great new tecnology in the pipeline I hope you are right about alternatives.
The best I have seen is Australian
Solar Sliver Cells ( not a typing error).
The car that runs on coffe grounds (see Terra preta forum -Unusual uses of?-) ain't bad either.
It is great to see the human race grappling with GW/PO. I wish we could put the same energy into not killing each other.

CRUDE - THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY OF OIL
From the food on our tables to the fuel in our cars, crude oil seeps invisibly into almost every part of our modern lives.
Yet many of us have little idea of the incredible journey it has made to reach our petrol tanks and plastic bags. ABC Science has created a special broadband companion website to this landmark documentary.
The site enables you to view the entire documentary again, watch extended interviews which were not included in the program, and discuss how the world will cope as we approach the end of the Age of Oil. (You'll need a broadband connection to view the video).
