You're right, Italian, oil IS important. I'm saying that if oil was really, really expensive, I bet people would find a lot of excuses as to why we don't really need it afterall for a lot of things.

Hydrogen fuel cells are just a few years away from being put into regular use.

Then again, I doubt the oil companies will like it much. And of course, they contribute so much money to the economy and provide so many jobs... but then again, the world WILL run out of oil eventually, and what then?

Well, that's generations away and for them to worry about, right? It's always easier to sit back and watch our children's children scramble around to solve the problems we leave behind, because afterall, we were making money, right?

I wonder how much trouble the guy who invented the wheel went through to get his creation accepted.

"No, Og. The dragging business will suffer greatly."
"But this will make dragging easier!"
"Sorry, maybe in 100 years they'll use stuff like that."
