The oil issue is important though, imo.
Keep in mind its not simply build more nuclear/fusion power plants whenver. It takes energy to create energy - the energy needed to power the machines. Not to mention the research. The power needed to start the powering of a fusion plant for instance is a lot. Reserves or not in oil doesn't matter - its going to come sooner or later and I'd rather be prepared for sooner than reach it and realize there is no later.
Of course, thats a different issue from this at hand. I'd go into more about the money problem but thats for another day right now im afraid.
