| hehe this all kinda depends on the sort of planning we humans put into alternative energy. If we plan ahead and build a new energy economy, everything will be peachy keen. If we don't plan ahead and instead keep on sucking on the teat of big oil things will invariably get worsen. The economy will go into free fall, inflation will run rampant until stagflation sets in, followed by a rush to secure the dwindling oil reserve abroad (ie war with every other military power), and a fallback onto coal, heavy oil and high pollution alternatives to oil. Need less to say things could get very bad.
When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, militarism and economic exploitation are incapable of being conquered
