“This is just the start. It will get worse,’' said Brook Simmons, president of the Petroleum Alliance of Oklahoma. “Meanwhile, the laws of physics, chemistry and supply and demand remain in effect. Oil and natural gas prices are going up, and so will home heating bills, consumer prices and fuel costs.’'
Meh. When I switched careers back in the 90's I actually did a very serious analysis of "Peak Oil". There wasn't even the hint of any sort of replacement for petro jet fuel at the time. Today we can fuel the current jets on 100% SAF if necessary. It's more expensive but not unsustainably so, and economy of scale will help with that.
