Remember, that won't happen until the oil begins to run out .

People don't seem to understand the concept of pricing. Oil will get
more expensive in this discade, not in some distant future, because
China will be importing more of it.

(Assuming that China keeps prospering, and I do hope so. Europe and
Japan both seem permanently mired; China seems likely to become the
world's second economy, and for the first time since the 1980s there
will be another economy beside the U.S. that is vibrant enough to
export prosperity. It is very tiresome for America to have to keep
dragging the rest of the world around like an anvil.)

As oil (gradually) becomes expensive, alternatives will make their
appearance.
