Answer 1

Not really, we are surrounded by vast oceans that hold more hydrogen than we could use in a billion years. The problem is that in order for the switch to come at a semi acceptable rate, the price of oil needs to stay high.

Sadly its not going to, because China stopped stockpiling oil for the olympics. Now the price is dropping rapidly.

Answer 2

The only thing that concerns me about the energy crisis would be not to have shares in them before energy prices go up. Hehe

Just kiddling. It does a little but not much.

Answer 3

I went through the energy crisis of the 70's.  I'm concerned that the prices may drop to artificially low levels before people around the US realize that our BEHAVIOR influences the prices.  Here in West Texas, it is nearly impossible to drive more than a twenty miles without seeing the giant windmills that produce clean and renewable energy.  

The crisis is not in the availability of energy.  The crisis is in consistently choosing one type of energy to the exclusion of many other options.

All your venues are in the UK.  Will there be a schedule of showings in the US?

And to be clear that I've answered the question, yes.  I've been concerned about it since I was in my early 20's, some decades back.
