'Our leaders' will eventually have no other option. We will eventually exhaust all this planet has by way of carbon fuels.

Then public transport powered by natural energy sources will be the only option.

Taxes to fund public services will change - loss of reveue from one source will be replaced with others - that is what government budgets do
