Be less dependent of Oil and we get less trouble:

earthisland.org

I can recall that during the Oil Shock of the seventies, there were real actions -not only talking- about getting less dependent on crude.
Solar power, windpower, tide/waves power and alcohol to power cars. And most important SAVING fuel.

Oil crude prices came down,"peace" in the Middle East and everything was forgot. Everyone was happily consuming as before.
(A curiosity: When I was in Saudi Arabia, the magazines came censored. I sometimes asked friends to buy abroad and send by mail the page chopped off. The Scientific American brought a article very positive on alternative sources of energy and it was censored by the Saudi authorities.

But the technologies are there. In the case of fuel for cars -which is what most people think about when considering alternative fuel- is not a problem.

Brazil developed technology for cars powered by anydro alcohol made out of sugar cane. Yu need a barrel at between 30 and 40 to be economic -I heard, can't confirm.

When we see all the land that is being put aside because they are no longer needed for food crops in the developed world, it make sense of starting thinking g about the alternative sources of energy. When I lived in Stockholm, the power generation firms were talking about selling energy generated by 'green' plats. They would plant trees. And use them for producing fuel. The CO2 generated by burning wood, was taken off the atmosphere when the trees were growing.

It is the same if we plant sugar cane.
