At this moment we just don't have the technology or ability to replace
oil with any really viable alternative. And the people in power don't want to spend the money it would take to really try to find a viable solution. Same as the water issue in Southern Calif. They have the Pacific Ocean there but will not send the money to build desalinization plants as it is cheaper to keep taking water from other places which are now starting to run short. When the water from the Colorado River is shut off, then and only then will they panic and start thinking about other solutions. Same seems to apply toward the
oil issue. Don't worry about it now as we can still make billions, let the next generation worry about not having any power.
