Interested in the reference to MeOMe. A certain person on dKos is a big booster. I too can't assess his seemingly convincing arguments. Put the point is, we may not need fossil fuels to power other industries. We just need fuels, and will have to manufacture them, which means there'll be less available. But not necessarily none. We will need to be more selective about what we mine. More titanium, less gold and diamonds perhaps.
