It's either the lack of innovation and/or lack of leadership to place a high priority on the implementation of existing technologies and/or research and development. When it comes to energy , you get more bang for your Buck in a cup of oil than any where else.

    Mar 4 2013: I imagine a cleaner world.
    But it won't happen in too many decades.
    Brasil found oil (a lot) that will be profitable only at $150. They just need to wait, the price will rise.

    Mar 4 2013: hmm, yes it is only through adversity that we can learn to be more creative and imaginative will our hands.

    here lies an issue that computers, satellites and silicon chips cant fix, we actually might need to get out of the office chair, turn off the net and do some physical labour in the sun, yes real dirt and all.

    I think it will be similar to what it is now, with a few major exceptions, like, things that are cheap now will be hard to get, and transport will be local only, and mostly by foot.

    Mar 3 2013: I don't think energy will be a problem since we are dramatically increasing energy production from wind and esp. from solar panels. Teams and individuals are also working on more practical and safer nuclear and fusion reactors.

    In any case the supply of oil should last for century and as it becomes more expensive people will start being more conservative with energy consumption and cars/tool more efficient.
