The issue of oil was central to world politics and economies last century. This century people have worried about how we will learn to live in a world without oil and plastics. But what if the oil never runs out? In recent years, the skills behind ‘fracking; releasing natural gas from rocks, have made this alternative to petrol impossible to . Countries such as the US, Japan, Korea. Canada, China and India are likely to become the new energy producers. In fact, the International Energy Agency predicts that the US will be able to supply all the energy they need without buying imports as quickly as 2035.

Cheap, plentiful gas is also likely to make climate change worse, affecting the quality of life in the society. Although natural gas is considerably cleaner than petrol, its not completely clean and was always meant to be a ‘bridge' fuel, between fossil fuels (coal, petrol and nuclear power) and new, zero carbon forms of energy. Easy access to natural gas reduces the economic arguments for developing those clean energy alternatives.
