As long as the alternatives take a real hold...and can be truly competitive...than we will see a revolution in the fuels marketplace: Competition. Right now...you have gas....or gas. Imagine seeing stations on every corner, except some of them offer different types of fuel that can all go into your car.
If the Oil Companies do anything...they'll try to buyout the little guys and bring in the profit themselves...not kill it. They're already investing in alternatives because they know they aren't going to be able to sell oil forever.
