I think this is the beginnings of an economy based on perpetual growth and fossil fuel energy running headlong into geological energy constraints. Basically I see an undulatory downward path for the rest of my life. From here out, I think any rallies in our economic condition are going to be met with spiking commodity prices that knock us right back down.

I kind of doubt shipping will ever be battery powered, at worst they will go back to sail/wind power and at best a small fission reactor is all any ship needs for power and freshwater.
To be honest I have this theory that so long as society hasn't collapsed into the dark ages there will always be oil....but it will be mighty expensive. It will be reserved for either ultra critical functions like (farm tractors, police cars, military, etc...) and not for soccer moms to drive their SUV's.
Either the car of the future is powered by oil or there will be no cars period. Electric cars will never become viable.
yeah I know it's not a popular theory on this site.
In either case there will likely be a lot fewer of them.
