"...Then I wonder what happens if we find an alternative energy source? Do we stop trading oil? hmmm..." ------------------------------------------------------ Soumen, The world will still be using oil for many decades to come, but oil's share of total energy production will decline steeply as alternatives come online. Coal used to be the primary energy source of the industrialized world, until it was replaced by oil. But coal is still used today... Here is an excellent article on one of the new energy sources which will replace a lot of fossil fuel consumption: --------------------------- "Let a Thousand Reactors Bloom" - Explosive growth has made the People's Republic of China the most power-hungry nation on earth. Get ready for the mass-produced, meltdown-proof future of nuclear energy. wired.com -------------------------- Hybrid cars, development of cellulosic ethanol, and the distributed production that will occur when the roofs on our homes become solar generators are other areas where progress is being made at a steady rate. Remember, just 10 years ago not very many people used the internet...now most can't imagine life without being 'networked' via computer, cell phone and other gadgets. Jerry
