Just about all applications of oil and natural gas have similar features as their use in the transportation sector: other energy sources could be used, but they are more expensive.

There are no circumstances in sight that would make oil/gas extraction uneconomical, especially in light of the rise of demand from developing countries.

So we'll have to arrange for the oil extraction reductions using international agreements.
