World running out of time for oil alternatives

The world could run out of time to develop cleaner alternatives to oil and other fossil fuels before depletion drives prices through the roof, a leading Dutch energy researcher said on Thursday.

Ton Hoff, manager of the Energy Research Center of the Netherlands, said it could take decades to make alternatives affordable to the point where they can be used widely, although high oil prices were already stimulating such research.

"If we run out of fossil fuels -- by the time the oil price hits 100 dollars or plus, people will be screaming for alternatives, but whether they will be available at that moment of time -- that's my biggest worry," Hoff said.
Time to wipe that dust off of my bike. I might need it in the future...lol

Americans should be forced to ride bikes . It would solve two problems. The obesity epidemic and global warming. Also bike sellers would become rich.

They've been saying that for years. When it happens, I'll believe it.

And by then it will be too late. How much higher do oil prices need to go before people realize there is not and infinite supply of oil?

I want to modify my car to run on piss. I mean, really, give it a practical use. And besides, if my car runs out of gas, I can just piss into the tank and be on my way.

Well, knowing the enginuity of man, in 10 years, cars will probably run on water or dirt.
