Oil is not a staple of life?

How do you think that wheat is grown and harvested? How do you think that wheat gets from the farm to your store? How do you think that wheat gets to the poor starving people who need it?

Like it or not, we either have oil as a staple of life or we face famine (amongst other things) on a scale never ever seen. Ever.

Like it or not, we really really really really need to find alternatives for oil.
Maybe not do away with it entirely but just look at the mess we are in now after two hurricanes in the gulf recently. All it would take would be for one of our oil suppling countries to get really cheesed off at us and refuse to sell to us.

Maybe the scientists can find a way to "clone" oil??????
