But being in my late 20's I truly believe there will be a time in my life in witch something other than oil will be the most economically viable option. Usually you have to go looking for oil and then move it. Most other options we are looking at, Sun/Wind mainly will come right you if you have the means of storing it.
I'm not one of those who thinks some switch will be flipped and over night we will be some hemp wearing, rabbit eating, wind powered society. But low maintenance and logistics costs will over take oil one day in the next 50 or so years.

I just can't get on board the "alternative energy train", so much uncertainty, revolving around the uses and demands as well as the technologies.
