It would be great to know, that someone in power had a gameplan, since scientist are debating, if the oil peak production will be in 2015 or 2030... if it happens in 2015, then we have very little time to waste, if 2030, then sure we can waste 5-10 years more... but at some point someone in power have to invest more than "chump change" in replacing oil.
Long term this could be one of the best things happing in the western world - local produced energy, development, replacing and updating of infrastructure - creating local jobs, making us less depended on global development, and prehaps the energy we choose would be more clean than oil.
I hope our politcians are thinking long term, but until I see somekind of a gameplan, then I´m skeptical...
