Over the last year, as oil has advanced from US $50 to $100, there have been countless academic papers on why the world’s most heavily traded commodity will likely not increase much above US $70 to $80. The main rationale? Alternative energy sources (e.g., coal, biofuels, wind, solar and uranium) will fill the gap and keep oil at a more comfortable level well below the infamous US $100 mark. While these resources can and will provide a slight buffer against the tsunami of global energy demand, our global economies are still too highly attached to fossil fuels and are not expected to shift soon.
