It depends on when and by homw much the US gets serious about alternatives. Because the weight the US carries in terms of resources and brain power it can throw nehind an initiative is unmatched. Look to space technology. While former USSR was throwing a lot of recources into it, the US was building cars with fins. One day they woke up and discovered that the Russinas have taken the lead. Only a lot of effort, allow the US to win the space race. Any attempt into alternatives (or into ANYTHING for that matter) requires basic two things only: time and money. While the US is not throwing serious money and effort into it, other countries have a head start.
