Hypothetically, I think it would be embraced. Petroleum will always be needed.

@jetpack Oil and natural gas can not sustain forever. 97% of the resrves have been found already. Growing population creates a greed need

What I meant is even when oil or gas is not used as a fuel source the need for plastics is never ending.

@jetpack But the resources have been shown that the tank will eventually run out. Changes need to be found

@MikefromEP that will be a significant hurdle for humanity. Every aspect of our lives has petroleum in it. Our food is fertilized with it, harvested and packaged with it. Our clothes....everything. some biological substitute for hydrocarbons will need to be found and made affordable to market.

@jetpack The theory of Peak Oil is based on all of this. God help us
