You summed that up very well, Robin.

Likewise, after the famous Carter-era lines at the gas stations, there was this great sudden spur of innovation. And then, as you said, nothing.

I was a great proponent of ethenol. Two birds, one stone. Farmers wouldn't lose their farms, cheap fuel. So good a plan it never really happened. I say "was", because while I really am still for it, the hydro-hybrid, full-hydrogen and electric cars are all taking off at last. And the only thing I can think of better than dripping out a tail pipe than corn oil is water!

Btw, anyone have the time schedule for Mideastern oil depletion? Only one I know for sure is Bahrain runs out around 2016.
