The world is full of worriers, a good friend of mine made a lot of money at the millennium. He is in IT and was paid a lot of money by the government to be on standby when the clocks changed. He had to do nothing apart from think how he was going to spend all the money.

In a 100 years or so there will be no more oil or no more that is economical to extract. What will happen then? Will we all go back to horse and carts and sail ships? I don't think so, Aircraft will have a new form of propulsion, electricity generation will be on a scale we now think impossible from natural resources and by methods we cant even imagine at the moment.

I think we will have bigger problems, with 11 billion mouths to feed worldwide and who knows what the Arabs are going to be up to with no more Oil revenue? I am glad I wont be here.
