You know thats another good argument.

If the backers of alternatives are right that some great non-fossil fuel alternative will come along in the future, it will still take decades to transition to that.

That is precisely the reason why I was against drilling in ANWR when oil was in $20-$30 range, and why I changed my opinion to favor it now.

20 years from now, the price of oil can still be high, or even higher, but, IMO, oil as a percentage of our energy needs will be a fraction of what it is now, so it will be of lesser strategic value.

You might be right.
