No problem. Coal liquefaction and the Alberta Tar sands can run the North American economy as is for another century +. There isn't enough crop land to grow the fuel required. There is a type of brackish water tolerant algae that is oily by nature. If there was a strong incentive this goo could supply most of the petroleum market. In New Brunswick the Irving Oil refinery has doubled capacity in the past decade making it the largest single refinery in the world. In another 2-3 years capacity will double again. Who do you think supplies most of the north eastern Canada & the north East US? The sky is falling, the sky is falling.........New nuclear plants can supply the power for short range commuter cars to charge at night. And nuclear can supply hydrogen to assist reforming heavy crude and coal into liquid fuel. Nuclear can supply steam to extract the tar sands fuel without having to burn a significant portion of production to supply process demands. As for the environmentalists. They need to be run out of their city condos and set in the forest with a boy scouts manual, some flint & steel and a knife. Or forced to spend a year with a strict order of Amish people. As for LP, butane etc being a byproduct. Not any more. With the price of crude now just about any type of "surplus" byproduct is reformed into gasoline or diesel.
