If you heard Marketplace earlier this morning you no doubt winced at the news that the cost of oil is now at $120 a barrel.

But that may not be such a bad thing, if you hear what Richard Heinberg has to say about the future of oil as an energy resource.

Heinberg is the author of numerous books on alternative energies, including his latest: "Peak Everything: Waking Up to the Century of
Declines."

Heinberg is in Vermont this week for a number of speaking engagements and he says if nothing else, the outrageous price of oil should motivate the
world to look for alternative energies — not solely because of cost, but more critically, because of supply.
