The relative cheapness of oil and gas eventually will be made irrelevant by rising price levels which will allow profitable businesses based on hydrogen power technology.

History tends to show that we move to a new energy source when it it cheaper and easier to use. The switch from coal to oil came this way. IMO, we will have "cheap oil" for a long time.

If I am wrong, then Hydrogen will come to the fore. The engineering of it is already known. The idea that Hydrogen will be "Clean" is wrong. We will have to burn something else to produce it. The only people that think we can get "something for nothing" are the environmentalists.

The only "kicker" I can see is if the Field Theory is finally "integrated" and we find that a "Gravity Drive" is possible. This could happen anytime, although our best Physicists seem to be clueless about it at the moment. Remember, how to use electricity could have been discovered during the Roman Empire. It was staring us in the face and no one figured it out. (However, although I could not began to prove it, I personally believe that gravity is a resultant force.)
