21. We won't be using any alternatives untill the infrastructure is in place

The technology is already there, but not the political will to deploy it.
Agricultural sources of oil are not really viable since it would require vast amounts of agricultural areas to be used for growing 'fuel crops' instead of food.
And we better hurry, given that the price of a barrel of oil has almost doubled in the past year.
