[ QUOTE ] And this is what must change. Because if it doesn't, bad bad bad things will eventually happen. Maybe not in 20 or even 50 years. But eventually. [/ QUOTE ] It must be easy to be a scientist that has to prove nothing empirically. You can continually move the goal posts of when impending doom is coming, and never be wrong! [/ QUOTE ] I'm not trying to prove anything. Though it seems that if we are just about completely reliant on fossil fuels and they run out, we are in a world of [censored].

The prospect of running out of fossil fuels is overblown and will not occur in your grandkids' grandkids' lifetimes. Further, it will NEVER run out because as the supply diminishes, the price of oil will increase and oil will become a luxury item for even the richest people. By this logic, it is a certainty that economic incentive for alternative energies will appear at some point. Running out of fossil fuel is not the problem here - pollution and warming is the problem. It would be better for us if we were closer to the bottom of the oil well and the economic incentive arrived today.
