One thing only runs computers and that of course is electricity. That article thinks somehow electrial production will be cheap. I really think that is pie in the sky thinking. Electrical distribution and production will be big, and require MORE hydrocarbon production than ever until we can figure out nuclear fusion. That is still a long way off. When everything needs MORE electricity the price will go up. There is no free ride to distribute massive amounts of electricity. It would be interesting to see a chart by someone smarter than I am to see just how much energy is used in the form gasoline and diesel alone worldwide. How will we ever make that much electricity.
Until true artificial intelligence arrives, then all bets are off. We can only hope we can program in Asimov's three laws of robotics into the core of all artificial intelligence.
