"You can't hide from the problem Zeuspaul. Even if we reduce our reliance upon oil, the rest of the world, and the global economy, is as dependent upon it as a newborn baby is to its mother's bosum.

And if the alternative you propose is to depend on more expensive alternative fuels, you have to ask yourself exactly how you're going to implement that change to full scale production/distribution, as well as the potential economic impact it will have. We have to use the cheapest form of energy available in order to remain economically competitive."

You argue against your self here.

If the price of oil rises for everyone then there is no change in competition for all oil dependent products.

So the conclusion is that non-oil energy sources, if economically competitive with oil or predicted to be so, are a way to become more competitive.
