[QUOTE="HereWeGoAgain, post: 112095, member: 3485"] Adjusted for inflation, the current peak is approximately equal to the 1981 peak, so in actuality we are catching up after 25 years of cheap fuel. There is no magical alternative fuel being kept hidden by oil companies. I worked in the industry, in exploration, for many years. Competition is such that if there is an economic alternative fuel, it will be marketed. With the price of oil depressed (relatively speaking) for the last quarter century, there has been no economic incentive to do the research and development, but that is due to change now that the price has caught up, as it were.
