I'm tempted to think that the volatility of oil prices may actually push people towards renewables. They doubled in the years leading to 2008, and since then have plunged three-quarters. If Saudi Arabia's bet pays off, and they manage to choke all the alternative suppliers of oil, perhaps the price will bounce all the way back up in another 8 years? Or perhaps they won't. But then if they don't, maybe Saudi Arabia collapses or has to be propped up with US money. Who wants to bet their energy supply on that?
