I'm not really panicking until someone I trust tells me to start investing in tulips.

I wonder how dependent our economy is on oil. I mean, sure, in our current form it's basically running everything; at the same time, necessity drives innovation, to paraphrase an old bit of wisdom. Would we be able to compensate and cope. Could some of the new technologies in their infancy be advanced enough to fill the gap, should the necessity arise?
I don't know. Economics isn't my area, and I know far less than I probably should. I just tend to view human drive and innovation as the real determining factor.
