i know this is drifting of topic but it completely msytifies me...
we know we are running out of Oil...we know Oil is absolutely essentail to our society in ways we can't even be bothered to think about...we know Oil is both fundamental to the heart of the economy and at the heart of world politics..not to mention the military situation...

yet there is no mention of finding an alternative..other than the vague notion that some one some where will "think of something"...

Oil IS our civilisation....without it we can't even scratch our own noses..

unless some sort of substitue can be quickly found ..one that will slot into the space left by oil with little or no alteration of current technology,
or the entire technological tree will simply vanish...requiring a vast and un endingly radical change to our way of life

i know it is cool to dismiss the frailtys of our current situation...

but i for one would feel a whole lot better if there were some attempt being made to re-assure the public on this subject...

the fact that little or no re-assurance is being proffered by our governments...is deeply deeply perverse

lets face it if they had the soloution then they would have told us..(if it was at all pleasant)
