About "- if there's any gasoline around... "

I read a good quote today, "the stone age didn't end for lack of stones"
(in "Physics of the Future: How ..", Michio Kaku)

-->  We are the peak of the oil age right now.  There will still be oil in
2135, but it will no longer serve the desires of humanity as an energy
source, in part because it will be quite expensive, and we will have moved
on to better things.  And we will no longer want to live with pollution or
the threat of global warming, and will do something about it before then,
i.e. nobody will want the oil (stone) age anymore.  Our great grandchildren
will wonder how we could possibly have put up with the disadvantages of that
ancient, horrible oil (stone) age.  But someone who can afford a $200K
Vanagon then could certainly afford the gasoline to drive it -- probably
just far enough to get more gas.
