The same’s with the example about the car. Sure the prototypes were created for Chinese emperors or somebody else but they didn’t see any FINANCIAL GAIN in making these devices bigger, better and cheaper to run. It took years until people understood that horse power isn’t a viable resource for big cities and then people rediscovered the car and made it the main means of transportation. Many people still use horses in underdeveloped countries- why? Not because they wouldn’t want a car but because they don’t see any benefit (financially) of owing it/ cannot afford…

The same with oil- as soon as oil prices will reach the level where they will no longer be economically viable, something else will take its place- electric cars would be my first guess now, in South America many people are using ethanol already.

It’s not like there’s nothing happening in the field of other energy sources. Electric cars are becoming more and more popular and better, other fuel sources are investigated, young people switch to bikes/ electric powered bikes. It’s just that the oil prices have not yet reached the level where they are unbearable but we’ll never see them reach that level…. In maybe 15 years you’ll wake up and read that oil has ended and you’ll go out and get into your electric car and drive to work as nothing had happened. Just like it was with horse manure crisis.

It has nothing to do with accidentally stumbling upon some discovery- the technology is there, everything is there- it’s just not yet economically viable. Another example- why are we not going to the Moon now?? The technology is there, probably even better as more than 40 years have passed since 1969, so why aren’t we doing that??? Cause we live in capitalism, nobody cares about anything until they can get some financial or other gain out of it.
