“A recent survey on the environment found that seventy percent of people worldwide think that the planet is running out oil.”

And the other 30% think there’s an unending supply? We will run out of oil some day...but I’d prefer to keep exploring until we’ve found a viable alternative (not ethanol).

Hopefully someday we will have cheap energy from clean, safe fusion powered power plants. With the advances in battery technology, super capacitors, and other technology, the fast, high mile, electric car may be in our future.

But the point the author is making is that there is no energy shortage and even if nothing changed there would not be for over 100 years.

Although you may not like ethanol, in the name of energy independence, I'm keeping an eye on the following development in non-corn ethanol production.
