When one considers alternatives, one has to realize that oil is used for much more than energy. Petrochemicals are used in pharmeceuticals, pesticides, fertilizers and fine chemicals. Nuclear energy cannot provide these raw materials, nor can ethanol. Perhaps coal will be able to supply some of these materials, but coal brings its own risks and dangers. Obviously any disruption in everything from paving materials to farm productivity and transportation are likely to cause major social upheaval.
