If we decided to work on renewable diesel or hydrogen we could be better off.

As I'm sure you know, the current models of Hydrogen Fuel cells take more petrolium to manufacture (in mass) than internal combustion engines (plus the continued use of the engine after it's manufactured).

I know. We're going to have to do something about it quick. There's not that much petrolium left to burn. :)

There's several different estimates.

The problem is the useage of oil is still on an exponential (very high) increase in the US. The production is a so-called "bell-shaped" curve. It accends, reachs a peak and then decends. It's like a hill. The top of the hill (according to the most recent estimate) is Thanksgiving of this year. From then on (again, according to this estimate), petrolium production is all down hill.

Unless we do something, we're going to have a massive problem.

Whether or not the estimate I've described above is accurate or not, this WILL be a problem we'll have to face in our lifetime.
