Our government in the UK is in a right mess also. All the money spent bombing other countries would have been better spent building an infrastructure for renewable energy. Then we wouldn't have this need for oil quite as much Indeed. Our government in the UK is in a right mess also.

Just imagine what we could have done with all that war money. We could have been almost oil free but now look at the mess we are in. @ GP but you forgot all the trillions of dollars spent protecting a soon to be empty hole in the ground (Middle East) when China increases it’s popoulation by 1 billion and takes all “our” oil.

How far along would be be, and what level of conversion efficiency could we have achieved by now? And while there will be a increased level of commitment in the coming years, the world has lost trillions in the financial meltdown and governments will be hard pressed to fund research at levels we had all hoped for.
