They say, look, what about getting fuel from biomass, agricultural byproducts, or even crops specifically grown to produce fuel. LOVINS: Mm-hmm. CURWOOD: How do you see that fitting into our future energy needs? LOVINS: These are all competitors. And in fact, in our study ãWinning the Oil Endgameä, weâre looking at how they all interplay, and which ones have how much of the market in the long run. And I think the answer is going to be that theyâll all be active. We are already seeing a lot of biodiesel and other bio-fuels emerging in the market. Those processes are getting steadily better. What they will tend to do, just like what hydrogen will tend to do, is squeeze out oil. Because these alternatives -- whether in saving oil or substituting for it -- tend to have rising reserves and falling costs, whereas oil tends to have falling reserves and rising costs. And the curves are starting to cross.
