Re: OT: The price of Gas..
Imagine a chart showing the price of gasoline against time (months, years, whatever). This will be a squiggly, upward-moving line, or curve.
Now picture similar graphs for alternative technologies, superimposed on the first. While the prices for these technologies are currently higher than the price of gasoline, it is also true that the curves for the prices of these energy sources are flat, or even downward against time. When the economic situation is such the curves are about to intersect, we will find a very rapid transition to alternative energy sources.
