Now that most of us who have done the research know that oil isn't long for this world(estimates vary from 2020 to 2050 being the end of oil) it is becoming very obvious that the next revolution in power sources will be toward solar, wind and alternative fuels and alternative sources of power to oil.
It is possible that only plastics will continue to be made from oil and that oil will at some point no longer be a fuel source simply because of its cost.
In looking as a futurist into what is coming it is obvious that those countries which move the quickest and most efficiently into the greening of the world will be those countries that do the best in taking care of their people and the most financially successful in the near future we all must face.
Looking realistically at the last century, my grandparents and great grandparents grew up with only horses, buggies, horse carts, and steam ships and trains for transportation other than just walking on foot. That was it. It is not as if we have been using oil very much more than just 100 years. Thinking that it could last forever, after all, was always just wishful thinking.
The biggest problems will come from the most unrealistic of nations. The nations and areas of the world that can and will shift their economies the fastest and most efficiently to alternative and renewable resources will be around still. And those who don't will likely be destroyed by rioting starving people. Time will tell.
