$200 Oil Is a Very Real Possibility

Nothing spurs innovation like high prices. This is not to say that new oil wil be "created" but ways will be found to work around the oil shortage with substitutes and new processes to refine existing "un-recoverable" supplies.

The best thing to ever happen to the renewable energy sources, i.e., wind, solar, geothermal, is $100/bbl oil.
