I agree entirely Ian, but if we are still using ships to carry cargo everywhere what is it that these freighters or the high speed ocean liners will be using as a fuel source?

When the fuel runs low and the price jumps astronomically (VERY deliberate pun ) who can afford to pay 5 times, 10 times, 50 times as much for freight on an item as what it costs us now to import by ship?
