Let's hope so.
Of course, if we don't find a suitable replacement at some stage, the world's militarys will be hanging on to the last of the oil. That's why we are setting up Walmarts and McDonalds in the middle east now. The US intends to keep that oil over there for ourselves. (anyone that really believes we went there to "liberate Iraqis" is delusional.)
Interesting thought though.... these countries that built themselves around oil, like Saudi Arabia, are fucked when the wells run dry. At least Dubai is trying to transform themselves into a resort area. Who the fuck wants to go to Saudi Arabia though?
