////It doesn’t hurt to think about these things as the cost of fuel could become prohibitively expensive.\\\\
How else do you think that Farming methods have advanced to where they are today? The increase of operating costs inspired a much higher rate of efficiency.
The cost will never become “prohibitively expensive” because new methods and technological developments will continue to advance to offset the increased costs.
It’s like drilling for Oil. The technology allows us to drill wells that would have been considered impossible just 10 years ago. The result is a much lower cost to produce a barrel of Oil in spite of the much higher increased cost to drill.
Not with the pack of lunes running this countries energy policy. It could happen.
