As Charlatan pointed out, things clearly have to change. I just question how? And which is the better way? gradual evolutionary change or abrupt revolutionary change?
If the first world decides to rescind its use of an oil based economy, we will rapidly be subjugated (economically) by the second/third world countries who are no so idealistic.
oh, and no I don't like Hummers. For me it's economic. I cannot, nor do I think it is intelligent to spend on such a vehicle.

It doesn't have to be, though. That's why we need to take alternative fuels a whole lot more seriously than we currently do. Our dependence on oil is a huge liability in every possible sense of the word. The fact that hummers exist is just an example of how little we are aware of how big an issue this could end up being.
