I’m holding out hope against hope that in 10 years time, the whole middle east oil stranglehold will be completely obsoleted by technology. In particular, I think Green Crude—algae produced light sweet crude that works in the same equipment as the whole petroleum supply chain and doesn’t compete with human food production—will be able to ramp up and offset any saber rattling from the middle east.

Exactly, new energy sources won’t spring from wind or solar, though they are lofty attempts. It will come from production by biomasses.
