Only if you think the only feasible energy source going forward is petroleum. If petroleum gets expensive, other alternatives become more economically feasible. And behavior patterns change to account for the new market realities. (That's why Derwood's post up top is unpersuasive - it ignores economic dynamism and human adjustment to new circumstances. Which doesn't mean there won't be some difficulty in the short term for some people.)
