Guys .. Aren't we barking up the wrong tree here ?? If you asked me for a wild guess on what alternatives will be used and how, I would say that we will switch to natural gas -> coal -> nuclear fission -> nuclear fusion. The coming energy crisis is not going to affect the way we produce electricity .... What the heck are we going to use for vehicular transport fuel ????? It's gasoline/diesel/ fuel oil that we're going to have to replace .. Nat gas/coal/ new nukes/geothermal etc don't directly address an alternative to transport fuels .. Personally, I see eventual conversion to all electric or hybrid-electric ( using compressed air/ hydraulics/ regenerative braking technologies ) rather than hydrocarbon based hybrids .. Also .. lots of new nukes .. High temperature gas reactors ( Google pebble-bed ) and 3rd and 4th generation water cooled reactors .. Hydrogen .. maybe someday .. but not in the short run .. Triff ..
