Shell, BP, et al should be putting their money into creating extensive renewable energy resources.

What are you going to put in your gas tank? Those pesky laws of nature demand that it takes a LOT of energy to move the 4,000 lb climate controlled vehicle down the road at 70 mph. Wishing for an magic alternative is nice but it will leave you with a stationary vehicle. There is no viable alternative.
