No problem. When the oil runs out in a few hundred years, if ever, we

Hydrogen fuel cells are being used by a few
cities now, etc.

Hydrogen is an energy storage medium, not a source. The hydrogen comes
from oil, and you lose some of the oil's energy in the process.

People have been raving about biodiesel, but guess what - biodiesel is
95% dead dinosaur and only 5% rape seed oil.

Not until we get over our hang-ups over nuclear energy will we have any
chance of kicking our oil habit, and we have to make a lot of big
improvements in nuclear energy first as well. Sort of hard since with
every passing year, society gets even more anti-nuclear power.
