When the USA becomes energy efficient or if the world changes from oil to another energy source, IMO things will get much worse.
The Middle East produces nothing but a woman beating cult of homicide bombers. They really don't make anything, so there would immediately be starvation in that region on a grand scale.
I think every government there would topple with no or less oil need and radical Islam would rule the day there.
At that point it would be the whole world versus radical Islam and I think we could see up to a 50% death in the entire populations of the Middle East.
That is what I see happening when oil isn't valued that much or used too often in the future.
