In this case I think the market will work. As easily accessible oil peaks, the price will rise enough to make more expensive oil extraction techniques (like getting it from oil shale) cost-effective. With the cost of oil increased, then alternative technologies can take over, like electric cars that get their power from coal-fired power plants. We got lots of coal.
