Affordable is the wrong word, it should be competitive. As oil prices increase other technologies and oil sources become competitive but not necessarily affordable. The current ethanol debacle should be teaching us that lesson. One of the problems with adopting those technologies is the real fear that oil prices will drop if demand drops so do not expect anything new until oil prices maintain sustained high levels.
