Crude Reality: Big Oil's Purposely Restricting Supply

Everyone keeps yelling "the answer to our oil problem is alternative/renewable energies!!"

Someone tell me how a wind turbine spinning in the fields will make my Land Cruiser go? Or, how thousands of solar panels in the desert will provide the energy for me to fly home from Australia in a month?? It won't.

People are confusing the argument. YOU CANNOT REPLACE OIL WITH ALTERNATIVE/RENEWABLE ENERGY (at least not today).

Electric energy is not the same as energy used for transportation. They may both be big issues, but they are unrelated. Please keep this in mind.
