It might be a good thing if China and India motorize because in doing so, they will extract billions of gallons from the world market causing the price to rise while diminishing the current supply of oil available on the earth. It's only when the price of oil skyrockets, that we began looking at alternatives.
It was five years ago, no one would have thought GM would ever develop an electric car. Now it seems an electric car is in the works for every manufacturer. Unfortunately, the need for oil for food production is only replaceable but at a very high cost. It's a cost our children's children will have to pay once our generation exhausts the inexpensive supply of oil.
