Energy Alternatives

I read an interesting observation that the entire sectors of economy may get wiped out when the oil reserves run out. Well, I do agree with the observation but I cannot help but optimism take over. We might lose out on oil as a source for energy but fusion reactors powering electric cars may become a sustainable alternative tomorrow. So many research efforts are going on and I believe that at least a few will bear fruit.

But the timing I guess will be really important. The research efforts need a significant amount of funding which can be provided only if the economies or companies are able to spare that amount. In case such possibilities become realities while the economies are still growing, well and good. But even a small delay might prove disastrous.
