True there is a big market in cars and manafacturing them etc, that wont change, just what they run off will. And there are stepping stone process's that can make the transition a lot smoother.

Yes there are a lot of people who must work in the oil industry. A lot of people would be needed to design, build and maintain the new eco systems of energy production....

Lots of people would loose their jobs in the oil industry... things change though. Thatcher destroyed the Coal mining industry in Britain, not that she was right or anything so scrath that cos its a stupid example.

What i mean is ok that change is going to have a very negative effect on some people. But the industry wont' stay there - they will all need new jobs etc at some point when it runs out. better to start to scale things down now, and to focus effort on the alternatives (NOT nuclear) rather than like u say, have that sudden 'one morning' situation

[Mr. Lothario]

     Why not nuclear? Do tell.

[BFG]

Why? ok. Because of the Danger of the waste that it produces, and in inability for a lot of this waste to be recycled.

The fact that there are not scrict enough regualtions protecting the Environment for instance regarding low level radiated water used in the cooling systems which are discharged into the sea's etc and have caused great damage.

Becasue of Chenobal. (spelt wrong im sure)

I think a combination of nuclear and natural sources lies in our future.
