Mike, yes, it makes economic sense to get going even if it's little at a time. We have all the alternative sources of power that can be tapped. Here in the USA, we have aside from Shale oil you mentioned Natural Gas (1/3 the cost of oil), Methane Gas from wastes, Biomass, Geothermal, Solar, Wave, Wind and many others. Each country have its own sources of power. Like the Philippines, Wind power alone would take care 7 times its present power needs. The biggest problem in weaning us from the use of Oil as the dominant source of power is the enormous cost of replacing the Oil fired generators of Electricity by generators being fired using alternative sources of power. What we are doing now and should continue to do so at a stepped up rate is to replace those aging Oil gererators. Here is a site I found very informational.
