Here's me going out on a limb and making a prediction for the biggest news story of 2006: Peak Oil. The Peak Oil meme has finally been unleashed and you will be hearing about it everywhere. The good news is that it provides a ton of oportunities to entrepreneurs and businesses in the renewable energy sector.
Peak Oil 101:
Still not sure what Peak Oil is? Check out this trailer for a new Peak Oil documentary called Oil Crash. You can find more introductory info on Peak Oil, including audio and video files, at Karavans.
Free clue: People who respond with, "Oh we'll just come up with some new technology to deal with energy depletion" are very confused about technology and energy. You need energy to run technology. Technology is not energy.
I don't agree with the statement that you need energy to run technology. Yes technology per se most of it is a consumer of energy but some of the hybrid tech being used in automobile sector will reduce the consumption of fossile fuel. :)
