alternatives

here in the philippines, when it goes down they cut half a peso off the price at a time, if it goes up they add 1 and a half at a time.

Not to mention that they recently cut the price (by a small amount) and then upped the price by a much larger margin barely A WEEK LATER (real crafty guys )

Yes, we should rely on alternative fuels. In fact the question is moot, since oil supplies are running low anyway; if we don't switch then crucial industries will eventually collapse like tragic, non-adaptable dinosaurs. And we could see it happening: the meteor is hurtling towards us in splendid slo-mo 3-D. It's only a question of when to do it... as the US demonstrated, people have a tendency to wait the last minute to get shit done, even though it would be much less painful to take measures beforehand. Here in the Philippines, where the current administration acts powerless as the prices of basic commodities keep rising left and right, the prospect for long-term investment in a sensible future is shunted for the short-term.
