I don't imagine that we will see a boom simply because it is so readily available to us now. Unless something really crazy happens. But I don't see it going anywhere for the majority of our lifetimes. It is just too integrated into everything we do. And thus people will still be able to work on the rigs, and oil companies will still profit as they can get it out of the ground cheaper than ever. And like I have said before, the big energy companies will just buy out anyone it needs to when the trend changes. Exxon, Chevron, Shell will be the energy leaders IMO.Like I explained to @C Pav I guess I do have a little personal anger to oil since I saw what changes it brought. I lived though the boom, and I feel as it it brought more harm than good because of greed. While oil not ever going away, I just don't see it going to what it once was based of world living conditions, and technological changes. (War could change this though).
