Actually, they are pretty naieve about their future. Look @ OPEC and how they keep raising prices on oil, no matter what the situation. There is no oil shortage, these people are just hosing us on this shit. In reality, they've been extremely greedy with oil, and there's no signs that they'll get wise now that we're (the united states more than anyone) researching alternative fuel sources... they'll continue to behave immature, and will eventually not have a market for their product. When that happens, they'll sit on their laurels while their countries shrivel up like raisins with no viable source of income for their economy... and then everyone will blame it on the U.S., who pioneered whatever the next big fuel source will be. It's always our fault.On the other hand, if we didn't research alternative fuels, it would still be our fault that the prices would skyrocket, and they'd blame us for ruining the economy.

Actually Germany is leading the way with new environmentally friendly technology. Germany is already the leading user and developer of wind power. The issue isn't just with the price of fossil fuels, but with the actual usage of fossil fuels. Even if the prices were lower, that would arguably be a bad thing since consumption of fossil fuels would increase, and the environment would sustain further damage.
