I disagree, I see that many innovations come about as a result of war, competing for resources. Only after a warring period do civilians adapt new technology to industry.

So the question is, when fossil fuels, aka liquid work, what will we use to beat the other guy over the head? Think about it, no fuel=no airplanes and armored vehicles, that puts warfare back to WW1 type engagements.

I support alternative fuels to extend the age of flight for my country and its allies.
