There's to much money at stake, to make any real shifts towards being serious about applying anything we currently have of an alternative nature towards lessening oil's interaction in our daily lives.  We're not at that point, technologically, where we can do any major turns...but we could be laying the serious ground work and moving in that direction...but again...it always comes back to money.

America, will be one of the last remaining hold outs and when transition is finally a necessity, it'll be ugly as hell.  Common sense isn't one of our strong suits and it's doubly hampered by the notion that the market place, at all times, dictates when we should make any sort of move.

Shale oil is just the same product, derived from a different source, that is also limited in its amount.  The same item, promising independence, with the clock ticking with a few extra minutes added. Genius!
