I don't necessarily disagree with that either. It's already happened. I was just a kid at the time, but I remember the oil embargo and the gas lines in the early 70's. Prices did change forever. I remember gasoline went from something like $.30 or $.40 per gallon to about $1.

And there are people who will invest in the possibility of a radical change. It's a lottery ticket. Of course, most lottery tickets turn out to be worthless -- it won't stop people from playing, though, and probably shouldn't.
