I think we stand at a turning point because of this option becoming more easily available.
When the oil will be coming more from other countries than the middle east the politics are sure to change dramatically.
What will happen to the price of oil is difficult to say but the pockets it goes into are not the same as now generally.
The people predicting the end of oil are once again proven wrong.
Will we be going in for more use of electrical cars or just stumble on with the combustion engine?
Will we continue adding trains and other public transport?
Whatever happens I think it will be interesting to watch.
