All wishful thinking, already Banks are ceasing to lend for new oil and gas exploration, governments will hit hydrocarbon companies with windfall taxes so they wont have the internal cash resources (thru profits) to fund new exploration.

Add in the estimated £50bn clean up for the North Sea oil alone and petrol prices are only heading one way ie skywards with diminishing supplies. Already across Europe there are diesel supply shortages as refining capacity is reduced,

Most cities are now introducing emission zones, and like London they will extend them over time and make entry into them more difficult for the ICE, eg if Birmingham extends its zone to include M5 and M6, that will cause a few problems for commuters heading north or south.
