What price per litre do we need to see before the movement of goods, services and people become uneconomical ? I'd suggest that 'price' is likely to be reached long, long before the 50 years you suggest is reached.
Oil becoming uneconomical will make new alternatives economical eg nuclear (fusion?), solar breeder and wind and Hydro.'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is.

In any case, I think we have at least 20 years before peak oil, and anyone remotely familiar with alternative energy knows that the work on synthetic fuels is going along with great pace. In 20 to 60 years, when oil starts to run out, I think it will be both possible and economically viable to replace it. This is just with modern developments we know is possible; it ignors the developments via, for example, genetic engineering and self-assembling systems which have great promise in themselves.“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”
