More public acts of Doing The Right Thing which correspond to private profits, no doubt.
I can't say I am sorry to see diesel vehicles go from an emissions perspective, but this seems like the wrong way to go about it...

We're going to run out of oil. That's why it's not the future. This study is from 2013. Be sure to note the line "...at current rates of extraction." Maybe 2040 is a good target for alternative fuel.

That link is pretty funny, perdu. Quite a circular argument!

Looks like they are dismissing the newly discovered oil under Australia which is estimated to have more oil than anywhere else on the planet.
When I was 15 everybody was talking about how we are going to run out of oil in 15 years (I live in an oil country). I am 30 now.
Maybe it's not such a bad thing. About 30% of the population lacks the mental capacity to operate an automobile. More of us will get off of our fat asses and exercise. More of us will spend more time with our families, which should greatly help with population control. Herd to see the downside with any of this.
Well, to be fair, the percentage of incompetents is a bit higher, but still in the 30's. The computation isn't necessarily a measurement of intelligence per sé, but of the ability and speed demonstrated in connecting and implementing logical responses to a variety of external stimuli. It's not unlike being able to sightread a piece of music.
The future is perpetual motion powered cars. The hard part is going to be getting on and off of moving cars. :

2040 is going to be after I am dead or care. It would be nice if one day we didn't have to own money sucking cars any more.

Not until "oil crises" is more than a dire prediction will the solution be chased with any enthusiasm. We've got years of oil under Alaska, off shore, Russia etc. It's not really a problem that exists at this time.
None of us will be alive when the solution is achieved. No of us will likely be alive when a shortage truly exists. Meanwhile. some serious "men in sheds", oil companies and scientists will dabble with possible solutions. The press will hop on the "solution of the day" and nothing will really change. Well, more will join the panicked few of today causing all sorts of knee jerk reactions and solutions, all of which will be costly, mostly ineffective and impractical.
