That's quite a read. And very interesting for someone like myself who consumes more than his fair share of oil. Pretty much suckhole news for my major hobby. If the industry does indeed go this route in the next few years it's going to be very hard for casual automotive enthusiasts to be able to afford to live and hang on to their toys. No more big blocks, blowers, turbos, race gas, track days, autoX, quarter mile... how depressing.
That's of course not even mentioning all of the daily life things affected. If a crisis such as this happens we will see an explosion - no pun - in hydrogen use but the damage will have been done. We could end up seeing the Cyberpunkish styled living after all - megacorps, resource control, population control and decline, unimaginable gap between the haves and have nots, you've all read the books and seen the movies. I'm not building my bombshelter yet but it is all very interesting.
