I think Peter is only looking at most at 50 years into the future, and it is only a prediction, events has a way of changing things in unexpected ways, I think he's referring to a time in the Middle East when carbon will not be the main energy source of the World, which may be because known reserves are due to run out in 50 years at the present rate (Or another 50 odd or so years if more reserves are found but most probably at greater cost), or if renewables are likely to take hold of the energy sector, a great movement forward which could become a game changer is if they sorted out the energy storage for low cost conundrum, then renewables can be accelerated at a fast pace, obviously any two of the above scenarios would be a nightmare for the Middle East, without oil they are unsustainable in their present form, how big the collapse is will be governed by the rate of progress in renewables, which at present, due to Russia and OPEC's weapoinising of energy, is changing at a very rapid pace in the majority of the European Continent, it will be majorly renewable energy independent by 2035 and energy independent by 2040-2045, I'm not counting on Nuclear Fusion at this time as that is into the next century before it can be widely deployed at the earliest!?!
